[0018] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a pixel circuit in the related art. Figure 2 is Figure 1 a timing diagram of the pixel circuit shown.
[0019] In the related art, as Figure 1 shown, the pixel circuit 01' includes a driving transistor Td', a data writing transistor T1', a first reset transistor T2', a power supply voltage writing transistor T3', a light emission control transistor T4', a second reset transistor T5' and a storage capacitor C1'. The first pole of the driving transistor Td' is electrically connected to the first node N1', the gate is electrically connected to the second node N2', and the second pole is electrically connected to the third node N3'.
[0020] The driving transistor Td', the data writing transistor T1', the first reset transistor T2', the power supply voltage writing transistor T3', the light emission control transistor T4' and the second reset transistor T5' are all N-type transistors (turned on by high level and turned off by low level).
[0021] Among them, the first pole of the data writing transistor T1' receives the data voltage Vdata, the second pole is electrically connected to the third node N3, and the gate is electrically connected to the first scan line G1'. The first pole of the first reset transistor T2' is electrically connected to the first node N1', the second pole is electrically connected to the second node N2', and the gate is electrically connected to the second scan line G2'.
[0022] The first pole of the power supply voltage writing transistor T3' receives the first power supply voltage PVDD, the second pole is electrically connected to the first node N1', and the gate is electrically connected to the first light emission control signal line EM1'. The first pole of the light emission control transistor T4' is electrically connected to the third node N3', the second pole is electrically connected to the fourth node N4', and the gate is electrically connected to the second light emission control signal line EM2'. The fourth node N4' is electrically connected to the anode of the light emitting device 02', and the cathode of the light emitting device 02' receives the second power supply voltage PVEE.
[0023] The first pole of the second reset transistor T5' receives the anode reset voltage VREF, the second pole is electrically connected to the fourth node N4', and the gate is electrically connected to the third scan line G3'. One plate of the storage capacitor C1' is electrically connected to the second node N2', and the other plate is electrically connected to the fourth node N4'.
[0024] Combined Figure 2 As shown, the working process of the pixel circuit 01' includes a reset stage Z1', a data writing stage Z2' and a light emission stage Z3' that are carried out in sequence.
[0025] In the reset stage Z1', the first light emission control signal line EM1' and the second scan line G2' transmit high-level signals, the power supply voltage writing transistor T3' and the first reset transistor T2' are turned on, and the first power supply voltage PVDD is transmitted to the second node N2' through the power supply voltage writing transistor T3' and the first reset transistor T2' to complete the reset of the gate of the driving transistor Td'. At the same time, the third scan line G3' transmits a high-level signal, the second reset transistor T5' is turned on, and the anode reset voltage VREF is transmitted to the fourth node N4' through the second reset transistor T5' to reset the anode of the light emitting device 02'.
[0026] In the data writing stage Z2', the first scan line G1' and the second scan line G2' transmit high-level signals, the data writing transistor T1' and the first reset transistor T2' are turned on, and the data voltage Vdata can be transmitted to the second node N2' through the data writing transistor T1', the driving transistor Td' and the first reset transistor T2'. At the same time, the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor Td' is compensated to the second node N2'. That is, the data voltage Vdata and the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor Td' can be transmitted to the gate of the driving transistor Td'.
[0027] At the same time, the third scan line G3' transmits a high-level signal, the second reset transistor T5' remains turned on, and the anode reset voltage VREF is transmitted to the fourth node N4' through the second reset transistor T5' to continuously reset the anode of the light emitting device 02'.
[0028] In the light-emitting stage Z3', both the first light-emitting control signal line EM1' and the second light-emitting control signal line EM2' transmit high-level signals, turning on the power supply voltage writing transistor T3' and the light-emitting control transistor T4'. The driving transistor Td' generates a light-emitting current and transmits it to the light-emitting device 02', driving the light-emitting device 02' to emit light.
[0029] The inventors of the present application have found through research that in the related art, from the working process of the pixel circuit 01', when compensating the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor Td' to its gate, the compensation duration is limited by the duration of writing the data voltage Vdata. This results in a short compensation duration for the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor Td', which is less than the scanning duration of one row of pixels. As a result, the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor Td' is not fully compensated, and the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor Td' affects the magnitude of the light-emitting driving current. Since the threshold voltages of different driving transistors Td' are often different, the luminance uniformity of the light-emitting devices 02' driven by different pixel circuits 01' is poor.
[0030] Especially when the mobility of the driving transistor Td' is low, the compensation effect of the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor Td' is very poor, and the impact on the luminance uniformity of the light-emitting device is particularly serious.
[0031] In view of this, the inventors of the present application have conducted in-depth research and provided a solution to solve the problems existing in the related art.
[0032] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of a pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application.
[0033] An embodiment of the present application provides a pixel circuit 01, which is applied to a display panel 10. As Figure 3 shown, the display panel 10 further includes a light-emitting device 02. The pixel circuit 01 is electrically connected to the light-emitting device 02 to drive the light-emitting device 02 to emit light.
[0034] As Figure 4 shown, the pixel circuit 01 includes a driving transistor Td, a power supply voltage writing module 11, a threshold compensation module 12, a data writing module 13, and an auxiliary threshold compensation module 14. The driving transistor Td is used to generate a light-emitting driving current. The first pole of the driving transistor Td is electrically connected to the first node N1, the gate is electrically connected to the second node N2, and the second pole is electrically connected to the third node N3. The driving transistor Td can be an N-type transistor. Exemplarily, the driving transistor Td includes an oxide.
[0035] The input terminal of the power supply voltage writing module 11 is electrically connected to the power supply signal line DL1, and the output terminal is electrically connected to the first node N1. The power supply signal line DL1 is used to transmit the power supply voltage PVDD to the power supply voltage writing module 11.
[0036] The input terminal of the threshold compensation module 12 is electrically connected to the first node N1, and the output terminal is electrically connected to the second node N2. The input terminal of the data writing module 13 is electrically connected to the data signal line DL2, and the output terminal is electrically connected to the third node N3. The data signal line DL2 is used to transmit the data voltage Vdata to the data writing module 13.
[0037] The input terminal of the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 is electrically connected to the first signal line XL1, and the output terminal is coupled to the third node N3. The auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 is used to transmit the first voltage V1 on the first signal line XL1 to the third node N3.
[0038] Combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 as shown, Figure 5 is Figure 4 a schematic diagram of a pixel circuit as shown, Figure 6 is Figure 5 a timing diagram of a pixel circuit as shown. The working process of the pixel circuit 01 includes a threshold compensation stage Z1 and a data writing stage Z2 after the threshold compensation stage Z1.
[0039] Among them, the threshold compensation module 12 is turned on in the threshold compensation stage Z1 and the data writing stage Z2. The data writing module 13 is turned on in the data writing stage Z2. The auxiliary threshold compensation module 13 transmits the first voltage V1 to the third node N3 in the threshold compensation stage Z1 or before the threshold compensation stage Z1.
[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the threshold compensation stage Z1 and the data writing stage Z2 can be carried out separately. Let the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 transmit the first voltage V1 to the third node N3 in the threshold compensation stage Z1 or before the threshold compensation stage Z1, which is beneficial to making the first voltage V1 transmit to the gate of the driving transistor Td through the driving transistor Td and the turned-on threshold compensation module 12 in the threshold compensation stage Z1, so as to compensate the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Td to the gate of the driving transistor Td.
[0041] In this way, the threshold voltage compensation duration of the driving transistor Td is no longer limited by the writing duration of the data voltage Vdata, which is beneficial to making the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Td fully compensated during the working process of the pixel circuit 01, thereby being beneficial to greatly eliminating the influence of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Td on the light-emitting driving current, and further being beneficial to improving the brightness uniformity of different light-emitting devices.
[0042] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the pixel circuit 01 further includes a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor C2. One plate of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the second node N2, and the other plate is electrically connected to the third node N3. One plate of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the power supply signal line DL1, and the other plate is electrically connected to the first node N1.
[0043] Based on this setting method, combined with Figure 6 shown, in the data writing stage Z2, the data writing module 13 and the threshold compensation module 12 are turned on. The first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are electrically connected through the threshold compensation module 12. The data voltage Vdata is transmitted to the third node N3 through the turned-on data writing module 13, and is transmitted to the second node N2 through the coupling action of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2, so as to realize writing the data voltage Vdata to the gate of the driving transistor Td.
[0044] Exemplarily, as Figure 5 shown, the power supply voltage writing module 11 includes a power supply voltage writing transistor T1. The first pole of the power supply voltage writing transistor T1 is electrically connected to the power supply signal line DL1, the second pole is electrically connected to the first node N1, and the gate is electrically connected to the first light emission control signal line EM1. The data writing module 13 includes a data writing transistor T2. The first pole of the data writing transistor T2 is electrically connected to the data signal line DL2, the second pole is electrically connected to the third node N3, and the gate is electrically connected to the first scan line G1.
[0045] The threshold compensation module 12 includes a threshold compensation transistor T3. The first pole of the threshold compensation transistor T3 is electrically connected to the first node N1, the second pole is electrically connected to the second node N2, and the gate is electrically connected to the second scan line G2. The auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 includes an auxiliary transistor T4. The first pole of the auxiliary transistor T4 is electrically connected to the first signal line XL1, the second pole is coupled to the third node N3, and the gate is electrically connected to the third scan line G3.
[0046] Exemplarily, as Figure 5 shown, the power supply voltage writing transistor T1, the data writing transistor T2, the threshold compensation transistor T3, and the auxiliary transistor T4 are all N-type transistors (turned on by high level and turned off by low level).
[0047] Combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the working process of the pixel circuit 01 further includes a reset stage Z0, and the reset stage Z0 is carried out before the threshold compensation stage Z1.
[0048] Among them, the power supply voltage writing module 11 and the threshold compensation module 12 are turned on in the reset stage Z0.
[0049] Specifically, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the reset stage Z0, the first light-emitting control signal line EM1 and the second scan line G2 transmit high-level signals, the power supply voltage writing transistor T1 and the threshold compensation transistor T3 are turned on, and the power supply voltage PVDD on the power supply voltage signal line DL1 can be transmitted to the first node N1 through the turned-on power supply voltage writing transistor T1 and transmitted to the second node N2 through the turned-on threshold compensation transistor T3, thereby completing the reset of the gate of the driving transistor Td.
[0050] Optionally, in the reset stage Z0, the period when the power supply voltage writing module 11 is turned on overlaps at least partially with the period when the threshold compensation module 12 is turned on. That is, the period when the first light-emitting control signal line EM1 transmits a high level overlaps at least partially with the period when the second scan line G2 transmits a high level.
[0051] Based on this setting method, it is beneficial to increase the accuracy of transmitting the power supply voltage PVDD to the second node N2, thereby being beneficial to improving the reliability of resetting the gate of the driving transistor Td.
[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 4 shown, the pixel circuit 01 further includes a light-emitting control module 15. The input end of the light-emitting control module 15 is electrically connected to the third node N3, the output end is electrically connected to the fourth node N4, the fourth node N4 is electrically connected to the first pole of the light-emitting device 02, the light-emitting device 02 can be an organic light-emitting diode, and the first pole of the light-emitting device 02 can be its anode.
[0053] Exemplarily, as Figure 5 shown, the light-emitting control module 15 includes a light-emitting control transistor T5. The first pole of the light-emitting control transistor T5 is electrically connected to the third node N3, the second pole is electrically connected to the fourth node N4, and the gate is electrically connected to the second light-emitting control signal line EM2. The light-emitting control transistor T5 can be an N-type transistor (turned on by a high level and turned off by a low level).
[0054] The output end of the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 is electrically connected to the fourth node N4. The auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 is turned on in the reset stage Z0 and / or the threshold compensation stage Z1. The first voltage V1 is also used to reset the first pole of the light-emitting device 02. That is, the first voltage V1 can also be used as the reset voltage for resetting the first pole of the light-emitting device 02. In at least one of the reset stage Z0 and the threshold compensation stage Z1, the first voltage V1 can be transmitted to the fourth node N4 through the turned-on auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 to complete the reset of the first pole of the light-emitting device 02.
[0055] Exemplarily, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in the reset stage Z0 and the threshold compensation stage Z1, the third scan line G3 transmits a high-level signal, and the auxiliary transistor T4 is turned on in both the reset stage Z0 and the threshold compensation stage Z1. The first voltage V1 is transmitted to the fourth node N4 through the turned-on auxiliary transistor T4 to reset the first pole of the light-emitting device 02.
[0056] Among them, in the reset stage Z0 and the threshold compensation stage Z1, the on-time of the light-emitting control module 15 overlaps at least partially with the on-time of the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14.
[0057] In the embodiments of the present application, in the reset stage Z0 and the threshold compensation stage Z1, if the on-time of the light-emitting control module 15 is set to overlap at least partially with the on-time of the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14, then before and / or during the threshold compensation stage Z1, the first voltage V1 can be transmitted to the third node N3 through the turned-on auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 and the light-emitting control module 15, which is beneficial to transmit it to the second node N2 through the driving transistor Td and the threshold compensation module 12 during the threshold compensation stage Z1, and compensate the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Td to the gate of the driving transistor Td.
[0058] It should be noted that when the on-time of the light-emitting control module 15 overlaps with the on-time of the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 in the reset stage Z0, in the reset stage Z0, the on-time of the light-emitting control module 15 and the on-time of the power supply voltage writing module 11 need to have no overlap to avoid abnormal light emission of the light-emitting device 02.
[0059] Exemplarily, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the on-time of the light-emitting control module 15 overlaps with the on-time of the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 in the threshold compensation stage Z1 and does not overlap in the reset stage Z0. In this way, the first voltage V1 can be transmitted to the third node N3 through the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 and the light-emitting control module 15 in the threshold compensation stage Z1, and then transmitted to the second node N2 through the driving transistor Td and the threshold compensation module 12 to compensate the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Td to the gate of the driving transistor Td. At the same time, in the reset stage Z0, the light-emitting control module 15 can remain in the off state, which is beneficial to reducing the driving complexity of the pixel circuit 01.
[0060] In an implementation manner of the embodiments of the present application, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 is Figure 5 Another timing diagram of the pixel circuit shown. The auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 is turned on in the reset stage Z0, the threshold compensation stage Z1, and the data writing stage Z2, and the light-emitting control module 15 is turned off in the data writing stage Z2.
[0061] Thus, the first voltage V1 can be transmitted to the fourth node N4 during the reset phase Z0, the threshold compensation phase Z1, and the data writing phase Z2, which is beneficial to increasing the reset duration of the first voltage V1 on the first pole of the light-emitting device 02, and thus beneficial to improving the reset effect of the first voltage V1 on the first pole of the light-emitting device 02.
[0062] Meanwhile, by making the light-emitting control module 15 turn off during the data writing phase Z2, it is possible to avoid the data voltage Vdata being written into the fourth node N4, resulting in abnormal light emission of the light-emitting device 02.
[0063] For the convenience of understanding the technical solution of the present application, the working process of the pixel circuit 01 will be described below in conjunction with Figure 5 and Figure 7 . The working process of the pixel circuit 01 includes a reset phase Z0, a threshold compensation phase Z1, a data writing phase Z2, and a light-emitting phase Z3 that are sequentially performed.
[0064] During the reset phase Z0, the third scan line G3 transmits a high-level signal, the auxiliary transistor T4 is turned on, the first voltage V1 is transmitted to the fourth node N4 to reset the first pole of the light-emitting device 02, and the potential of the fourth node N4 is V1. The first light-emitting control signal line EM1 and the second scan line G2 transmit high-level signals, the power supply voltage writing transistor T1 and the threshold compensation transistor T3 are turned on, the power supply voltage PVDD is transmitted to the first node N1 and the second node N2 to reset the gate of the driving transistor Td, and the potentials of the first node N1 and the second node N2 are both PVDD.
[0065] During the threshold compensation phase Z1, the first light-emitting control signal line EM1 transmits a low-level signal, the power supply voltage writing transistor T1 is turned off, the third scan line G3, the second light-emitting control signal line EM2, and the second scan line G2 transmit high-level signals, the auxiliary transistor T4, the light-emitting control transistor T5, and the threshold compensation transistor T3 are turned on, and the potentials of the fourth node N4 and the third node N3 are V1. Since the first voltage V1 is usually much smaller than the power supply voltage PVDD, at this time, the driving transistor Td is turned on, and the first voltage V1 is written into the first node N1 and the second node N2 until the potentials of the first node N1 and the second node N2 are both V1 + Vth, and the driving transistor Td is turned off. Here, Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Td.
[0066] In the data writing stage Z2, both the first light emission control signal line EM1 and the second light emission control signal line EM2 transmit low-level signals, and the power supply voltage writing transistor T1 and the light emission control transistor T5 are turned off. The first scan line G1 and the second scan line G2 transmit high-level signals, the data writing transistor T2 and the threshold compensation transistor T3 are turned on, and the data voltage Vdata is transmitted to the third node N3 through the turned-on data writing transistor T2. The potential of the third node N3 changes from V1 to Vdata. Due to the coupling effect of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2, the potentials of the first node N1 and the second node N2 become V1 + Vth + (Vdata - V1) C2 / (C1 + C2). Here, C1 is the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1, and C2 is the capacitance value of the second capacitor C2. At this time, the gate-source voltage difference Vgs of the driving transistor Td = the potential of the second node N2 - the potential of the third node N3 = (V1 - Vdata) C1 / (C1 + C2) + Vth.
[0067] Meanwhile, the third scan line G3 transmits a high-level signal, the auxiliary transistor T4 is turned on, and the potential of the fourth node N4 is V1, continuously resetting the first pole of the light emitting device 02.
[0068] In the light emission stage Z3, the first scan line G1, the second scan line G2, and the third scan line G3 all transmit low-level signals, the data writing transistor T2, the threshold compensation transistor T3, and the auxiliary transistor T4 are all turned off. The first light emission control signal line EM1 and the second light emission control signal line EM2 both transmit high-level signals, the power supply voltage writing transistor T1 and the light emission control transistor T5 are turned on, and the light emission driving current generated by the driving transistor Td is transmitted to the light emitting device 02 to drive the light emitting device 02 to emit light. At this time, the light emission driving current IO = K (Vgs - Vth)^2 = K ((V1 - Vdata) C1 / (C1 + C2))^2. Where K is a structural parameter, and Vgs is the gate-source voltage difference of the driving transistor Td.
[0069] From the working process of the pixel circuit 01, it can be seen that the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor Td no longer affects the magnitude of the light emission driving current generated by the driving transistor Td, which is beneficial to improving the brightness uniformity of different light emitting devices 02.
[0070] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of another pixel circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 9 is Figure 8 a schematic diagram of the principle of the pixel circuit shown, Figure 10 is Figure 9 a timing diagram of the pixel circuit shown.
[0071] In one embodiment of the present application, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the pixel circuit 01 further includes a light emission control module 15. The input end of the light emission control module 15 is electrically connected to the third node N3, and the output end is electrically connected to the fourth node N4. The fourth node N4 is electrically connected to the first pole of the light emitting device 02. The light emitting device 02 can be an organic light emitting diode, and the first pole of the light emitting device 02 can be its anode.
[0072] Exemplarily, as Figure 9 shown, the light emission control module 15 includes a light emission control transistor T5. The first pole of the light emission control transistor T5 is electrically connected to the third node N3, the second pole is electrically connected to the fourth node N4, and the gate is electrically connected to the second light emission control signal line EM2. The light emission control transistor T5 can be an N-type transistor (turned on by high level and turned off by low level).
[0073] The output end of the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 is electrically connected to the third node N3. The auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 is turned on in the reset stage Z0 and / or the threshold compensation stage Z1. The first voltage V1 is also used to reset the first pole of the light emitting device 02. That is, the first voltage V1 can also be used as the reset voltage for resetting the first pole of the light emitting device 02.
[0074] Combined with Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, in the reset stage Z0 and the threshold compensation stage Z1, the on period of the light emission control module 15 overlaps at least partially with the on period of the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14, and the on period of the light emission control module 15 has no overlap with the on period of the power supply voltage writing module 11.
[0075] In the embodiments of the present application, in the reset stage Z0 and the threshold compensation stage Z1, if the on period of the light emission control module 15 is set to overlap at least partially with the on period of the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14, then in the threshold compensation stage Z1 and / or the reset stage Z0, the first voltage V1 can be transmitted to the fourth node N4 through the turned-on auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 and light emission control module 15 to reset the first pole of the light emitting device 02.
[0076] At the same time, the first voltage V1 can also be transmitted to the third node N3 through the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 in the threshold compensation stage Z1 and / or the reset stage Z0, which is beneficial to transmitting to the second node N2 through the driving transistor Td and the threshold compensation module 12 in the threshold compensation stage Z1, and compensating the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Td to the gate of the driving transistor Td.
[0077] In addition, in the reset stage Z0 and the threshold compensation stage Z1, the period when the light emission control module 15 is turned on does not overlap with the period when the power supply voltage writing module 11 is turned on, which can prevent the light emission control module 15 and the power supply voltage writing module 11 from forming a path and causing abnormal light emission of the light emitting device 02.
[0078] Combined with Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the reset stage Z0 includes a first sub-reset stage Z01 and a second sub-reset stage Z02, and the second sub-reset stage Z02 is performed after the first sub-reset stage Z01.
[0079] Among them, the light emission control module 15 is turned on in the first sub-reset stage Z01 and turned off in the second sub-reset stage Z02. The power supply voltage writing module 11 is turned off in the first sub-reset stage Z01 and turned on in the second sub-reset stage Z02. The threshold compensation module 13 is turned on in the second sub-reset stage Z02. The threshold compensation module 13 may be turned on or off in the first sub-reset stage Z01.
[0080] Exemplarily, combined with Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in the first sub-reset stage Z01, the first light emission control signal line EM1 and the second scan line G2 transmit low-level signals, and the power supply voltage writing transistor T1 and the threshold compensation transistor T3 are turned off. The second light emission control signal line EM2 and the third scan line G3 transmit high-level signals, the light emission control transistor T5 and the auxiliary transistor T4 are turned on, and the first voltage V1 can be transmitted to the third node N3 through the turned-on auxiliary transistor T4 and transmitted to the fourth node N4 through the turned-on light emission control transistor T5, completing the reset of the first pole of the light emitting device 02.
[0081] In the second sub-reset stage Z02, the second light emission control signal line EM2 transmits a low-level signal, and the light emission control transistor T5 is turned off. The third scan line G3 transmits a high-level signal, the auxiliary transistor T4 is turned on, and the first voltage V1 is transmitted to the third node N3 through the auxiliary transistor T4. The first light emission control signal line EM1 and the second scan line G2 both transmit high-level signals, the power supply voltage writing transistor T1 and the threshold compensation transistor T3 are turned on, and the power supply voltage PVDD is transmitted to the first node N1 through the turned-on power supply voltage writing transistor T1 and transmitted to the second node N2 through the turned-on threshold compensation transistor T3 to reset the gate of the driving transistor Td.
[0082] Optionally, combined with Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 is turned on in both the reset stage Z0 and the threshold compensation stage Z1, and the light emission control module 15 is turned off in both the threshold compensation stage Z1 and the data writing stage Z2.
[0083] Based on this setting method, after the second light emission control signal line EM2 electrically connected to the light emission control module 15 transmits a high level during the first sub-reset stage Z01, it can transmit a low level during the second sub-reset stage Z02, the threshold compensation stage Z1, and the data writing stage Z2, which is beneficial to reducing power consumption.
[0084] At the same time, enabling the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 to be turned on during the reset stage Z0 and the threshold compensation stage Z1 is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the transmission of the first voltage V1 to the third node N3, and further beneficial to improving the reliability of writing the first voltage V1 to the second node N2 during the threshold compensation stage Z1.
[0085] Of course, during the data writing stage Z2, the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 is turned off to avoid affecting the writing of the data voltage Vdata to the third node N3.
[0086] Figure 11 For Figure 9 yet another timing diagram of the pixel circuit shown.
[0087] In yet another implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, as shown in combination with Figure 9 and Figure 11 the reset stage Z0 includes a first sub-reset stage Z01 and a second sub-reset stage Z02, and the second sub-reset stage Z02 is carried out after the first sub-reset stage Z01.
[0088] Among them, the light emission control module 15 is turned off during the first sub-reset stage Z01 and turned on during the second sub-reset stage Z02. The power supply voltage writing module 11 is turned on during the first sub-reset stage Z01 and turned off during the second sub-reset stage Z02. The threshold compensation module 13 is turned on during the first sub-reset stage Z01. The threshold compensation module 13 can be turned on or off during the first sub-reset stage Z01 and the second sub-reset stage Z02.
[0089] Exemplarily, as shown in combination with Figure 9 and Figure 11 during the first sub-reset stage Z01, the second light emission control signal line EM2 transmits a low-level signal, and the light emission control transistor T5 is turned off. The third scan line G3 transmits a high-level signal, the auxiliary transistor T4 is turned on, and the first voltage V1 is transmitted to the third node N3 through the auxiliary transistor T4. The first light emission control signal line EM1 and the second scan line G2 both transmit high-level signals, the power supply voltage writing transistor T1 and the threshold compensation transistor T3 are turned on, and the power supply voltage PVDD is transmitted to the first node N1 through the turned-on power supply voltage writing transistor T1 and transmitted to the second node N2 through the turned-on threshold compensation transistor T3 to reset the gate of the driving transistor Td.
[0090] In the second sub-reset stage Z02, the first light-emitting control signal line EM1 transmits a low-level signal, and the power supply voltage writing transistor T1 is turned off. The second light-emitting control signal line EM2 and the third scanning line G3 transmit high-level signals, the light-emitting control transistor T5 and the auxiliary transistor T4 are turned on, and the first voltage V1 can be transmitted to the third node N3 through the turned-on auxiliary transistor T4 and then transmitted to the fourth node N4 through the turned-on light-emitting control transistor T5, completing the reset of the first pole of the light-emitting device 02.
[0091] Meanwhile, the second scanning line G2 transmits a high-level signal, the threshold compensation transistor T3 is turned on, the first voltage V1 is transmitted to the second node N2 through the turned-on driving transistor Td and the threshold compensation transistor T3, and the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor Td is compensated to the gate of the driving transistor Td, which is beneficial to further increasing the compensation duration of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Td.
[0092] Optionally, as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 11 , the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 is turned on in the reset stage Z0 and the threshold compensation stage Z1, the light-emitting control module 15 is turned on in the threshold compensation stage Z1, and is turned off in the data writing stage Z2.
[0093] Based on this setting method, in the threshold compensation stage Z1, the first voltage V1 can also be transmitted to the fourth node N4 through the turned-on auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 and the light-emitting control module 15, which is beneficial to increasing the reset duration of the first voltage V1 on the first pole of the light-emitting device 02, and thus beneficial to improving the reset effect of the first voltage V1 on the first pole of the light-emitting device 02.
[0094] Figure 12 It is a schematic diagram of another pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 13 It is Figure 12 a schematic diagram of the pixel circuit shown. Figure 14 It is Figure 13 a timing diagram of the pixel circuit shown.
[0095] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 12 , the pixel circuit 01 further includes a light-emitting control module 15. The input end of the light-emitting control module 15 is electrically connected to the third node N3, the output end is electrically connected to the fourth node N4, the fourth node N4 is electrically connected to the first pole of the light-emitting device 02, the light-emitting device 02 can be an organic light-emitting diode, and the first pole of the light-emitting device 02 can be its anode.
[0096] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 13As shown, the light-emitting control module 15 includes a light-emitting control transistor T5. The first pole of the light-emitting control transistor T5 is electrically connected to the third node N3, the second pole is electrically connected to the fourth node N4, and the gate is electrically connected to the second light-emitting control signal line EM2. The light-emitting control transistor T5 can be an N-type transistor (turned on by high level and turned off by low level).
[0097] The output terminal of the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 is electrically connected to the third node N3. Combining Figure 14 As shown, the operation process of the pixel circuit 01 further includes an adjustment stage Z4, and the adjustment stage Z4 is carried out between the reset stage Z0 and the threshold compensation stage Z1.
[0098] Among them, the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 is turned on in the adjustment stage Z4 and the threshold compensation stage Z1. The first voltage V1 can also be used to adjust the bias state of the driving transistor Td. That is, in the adjustment stage Z4, the first voltage V1 can also be used as an adjustment voltage for adjusting the bias state of the driving transistor Td.
[0099] Specifically, combining Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in the adjustment stage Z4, the third scan line G3 transmits a high-level signal, the first scan line G1, the second scan line G2, the first light-emitting control signal line EM1, and the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 transmit low-level signals, the auxiliary transistor T4 is turned on, the power supply voltage write transistor T1, the data write transistor T2, the threshold compensation transistor T3, and the light-emitting control transistor T5 are turned off, and the first voltage V1 is transmitted to the third node N3 through the turned-on auxiliary transistor T4 to adjust the bias state of the driving transistor Td.
[0100] In the threshold compensation stage Z1, the third scan line G3 and the second scan line G2 transmit high-level signals, the auxiliary transistor T4 and the threshold compensation transistor T3 are turned on, the first voltage V1 is transmitted to the first node N1 through the driving transistor Td and transmitted to the second node N2 through the threshold compensation transistor T3 until the potential of the second node N2 is V1 + Vth, where Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Td, so as to compensate the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor Td to the gate of the driving transistor Td.
[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, the first voltage V1 can not only be used to adjust the bias state of the driving transistor Td, but also capture the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Td during the process of writing to the second node N2, which is beneficial to reducing the structural complexity of the pixel circuit 01.
[0102] Please continue to refer to Figure 12, in an embodiment of the present application, the pixel circuit 01 further includes a reset module 16. The input end of the reset module 16 is electrically connected to the reset signal line SL1, and the output end is electrically connected to the fourth node N4. The reset module 16 is configured to transmit the reset voltage VREF on the reset signal line SL1 to the fourth node N4 to reset the first pole of the light-emitting device 02.
[0103] Exemplarily, as Figure 13 shown, the reset module 16 includes a reset transistor T6. The first pole of the reset transistor T6 is electrically connected to the reset signal line SL1, the second pole is electrically connected to the fourth node N4, and the gate is electrically connected to the fourth scan line G4. The reset transistor T6 can be an N-type transistor (turned on by high level and turned off by low level).
[0104] Wherein, as combined with Figure 14 shown, the reset module 16 is turned on in the reset stage Z0, the adjustment stage Z4, the threshold compensation stage Z1, and the data writing stage Z2.
[0105] In this way, the reset voltage VREF can be transmitted to the fourth node N4 in the reset stage Z0, the adjustment stage Z4, the threshold compensation stage Z1, and the data writing stage Z2, which is beneficial to improving the reset effect of the reset voltage VREF on the first pole of the light-emitting device 02.
[0106] Optionally, as combined with Figure 13 and Figure 14 shown, the light emission control module 15 is turned off in the reset stage Z0, the adjustment stage Z4, the threshold compensation stage Z1, and the data writing stage Z2. In this way, it is beneficial to avoid abnormal light emission of the light-emitting device 02 in the non-light-emitting stage.
[0107] Optionally, as combined with Figure 13 and Figure 14 shown, the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 is turned on in the reset stage Z0. That is to say, in addition to being turned on in the adjustment stage Z4 and the threshold compensation stage Z1, the auxiliary threshold compensation module 14 can also be turned on in the reset stage Z0. In this way, the first voltage V1 can be transmitted to the third node N3 in the reset stage Z0, which is beneficial to increasing the duration of the first voltage V1 for adjusting the bias state of the driving transistor Td, and thus beneficial to improving the effect of adjusting the bias of the driving transistor Td.
[0108] Figure 15 It is a schematic diagram of another pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 16 For Figure 15 a schematic diagram of the pixel circuit shown. Figure 17 For Figure 16 a timing diagram of the pixel circuit shown.
[0109] In an embodiment of the present application, asFigure 15 As shown, the pixel circuit 01 further includes a reset module 16. The input end of the reset module 16 is electrically connected to the reset signal line SL1, and the output end is electrically connected to the third node N3. The reset module 16 is used to transmit the reset voltage VREF on the reset signal line SL1 to the third node N4, and the reset voltage VREF is used to reset the first pole of the light-emitting device 02.
[0110] Exemplarily, as Figure 16 shown, the reset module 16 includes a reset transistor T6. The first pole of the reset transistor T6 is electrically connected to the reset signal line SL1, the second pole is electrically connected to the third node N3, and the gate is electrically connected to the fourth scan line G4. The reset transistor T6 can be an N-type transistor (turned on by high level and turned off by low level).
[0111] Among them, combined with Figure 17 shown, the reset module 16 is turned on in the reset stage Z0, and in the reset stage Z0, the period when the light-emitting control module 15 is turned on overlaps at least partially with the period when the reset module 16 is turned on, and the period when the light-emitting control module 15 is turned on does not overlap with the period when the power supply voltage writing module 11 is turned on.
[0112] Exemplarily, combined with Figure 16 and Figure 17 shown, the reset stage Z0 includes a first sub-reset stage Z01 and a second sub-reset stage Z02, and the second sub-reset stage Z02 is carried out after the first sub-reset stage Z01.
[0113] In the first sub-reset stage Z01, the second light-emitting control signal line EM2, the first scan line G1, and the third scan line G3 transmit low-level signals, and the data writing transistor T2, the auxiliary transistor T4, and the light-emitting control transistor T5 are turned off. The first light-emitting control signal line EM1 and the second scan signal line G2 transmit high-level signals, the power supply voltage writing transistor T1 and the threshold compensation transistor T3 are turned on, and the power supply voltage PVDD is transmitted to the second node N2 through the turned-on power supply voltage writing transistor T1 and threshold compensation transistor T3 to complete the reset of the gate of the driving transistor Td.
[0114] In the second sub-reset stage Z02, the first light-emitting control signal line EM1, the second scan signal line G2, the first scan line G1, and the third scan line G3 transmit low-level signals, and the power supply voltage writing transistor T1, the threshold compensation transistor T3, the data writing transistor T2, and the auxiliary transistor T4 are all turned off. The second light-emitting control signal line EM2 and the fourth scan line G4 transmit high-level signals, the light-emitting control transistor T5 and the reset transistor T6 are turned on, and the reset voltage VREF is transmitted to the fourth node N4 through the turned-on reset transistor T6 and light-emitting control transistor T5 to reset the first pole of the light-emitting device 02.
[0115] In addition, during the first sub-reset stage Z01, the fourth scan line G4 can also transmit a high-level signal to control the reset transistor T6 to turn on, and the reset voltage VREF can be transmitted to the third node N3 during the first sub-reset stage Z01. In this way, it is beneficial to pre-write the reset voltage VREF to the third node N3, improving the effect of resetting the first pole of the light-emitting device 02.
[0116] Optionally, as shown in Figure 16 and Figure 17 , the light-emitting control module 15 is turned off during the adjustment stage Z4, the threshold compensation stage Z1, and the data writing stage Z2. In this way, it is beneficial to avoid abnormal light emission of the light-emitting device 02 during the non-light-emitting stage.
[0117] Figure 18 For Figure 5 yet another timing diagram of the pixel circuit shown.
[0118] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 , the pixel circuit 01 further includes a light-emitting control module 15. The input end of the light-emitting control module 15 is electrically connected to the third node N3, the output end is electrically connected to the fourth node N4, the fourth node N4 is electrically connected to the first pole of the light-emitting device 02, the light-emitting device 02 can be an organic light-emitting diode, and the first pole of the light-emitting device 02 can be its anode.
[0119] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 5 , the light-emitting control module 15 includes a light-emitting control transistor T5. The first pole of the light-emitting control transistor T5 is electrically connected to the third node N3, the second pole is electrically connected to the fourth node N4, and the gate is electrically connected to the second light-emitting control signal line EM2. The light-emitting control transistor T5 can be an N-type transistor (turned on by high level and turned off by low level).
[0120] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 18 , the working process of the pixel circuit 01 further includes a light-emitting stage Z3 after the data writing stage Z2. During the light-emitting stage Z3, the power supply voltage writing module 11 and the light-emitting control module 15 are turned on, and the time when the light-emitting control module 15 is turned on is not later than the time when the power supply voltage writing module 11 is turned on.
[0121] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 7 , during the light-emitting stage Z3, the time when the light-emitting control module 15 is turned on is the same as the time when the power supply voltage writing module is turned on. That is, during the light-emitting stage Z3, the time when the first light-emitting control signal line EM1 starts to transmit a high level can be the same as the time when the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 starts to transmit a high level.
[0122] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 18As shown, in the light-emitting stage Z3, the light control module 15 is turned on earlier than the power supply voltage writing module. That is, in the light-emitting stage Z3, the time when the second light control signal line EM2 starts to transmit a high level is earlier than the time when the first light control signal line EM1 starts to transmit a high level.
[0123] From the working process of the foregoing pixel circuit 01, it can be seen that in the light-emitting stage Z3, the light-emitting driving current generated by the driving transistor Td can be transmitted to the light-emitting device 02 through the light control module 15 to drive the light-emitting device 02 to emit light.
[0124] In the embodiment of the present application, setting the turn-on time of the light control module 15 not to be later than the turn-on time of the power supply voltage writing module 11, that is, the turn-on time of the power supply voltage writing module 11 is not earlier than the turn-on time of the light control module 15, is beneficial to avoiding the situation that after the power supply voltage writing module 11 is turned on first, the potential accumulated at the third node N3 is relatively high, and after the light control module 15 is turned on later, the high potential of the third node N3 impacts the first pole of the light-emitting device 02, thereby being beneficial to improving the service life of the light-emitting device 02.
[0125] Figure 19 It is a schematic diagram of another pixel circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application.
[0126] The embodiment of the present application further provides a pixel circuit 01, which can be applied to a display panel. As Figure 19 shown, the pixel circuit 01 includes a driving transistor Td, a first transistor M1, a second transistor M2, a third transistor M3, and a fourth transistor M4. The driving transistor Td is used to transmit a light-emitting driving current. The first pole of the driving transistor Td is electrically connected to the first node N1, the gate is electrically connected to the second node N2, and the second pole is electrically connected to the third node N3. The driving transistor Td is an N-type transistor.
[0127] The first pole of the first transistor M1 is electrically connected to the power supply signal line DL1, the second pole is electrically connected to the first node N1, and the gate is electrically connected to the first light control signal line EM1. The power supply signal line DL1 can be used to transmit the power supply voltage PVDD to the first transistor M1. The first pole of the third transistor M3 is electrically connected to the data signal line DL2, the second pole is electrically connected to the third node N3, and the gate is electrically connected to the first scan line G1. The data signal line DL2 can be used to transmit the data voltage Vdata to the third transistor M3.
[0128] The first pole of the second transistor M2 is electrically connected to the first node N1, the second pole is electrically connected to the second node N2, and the gate is electrically connected to the second scan line G2. The first pole of the fourth transistor M4 is electrically connected to the first signal line XL1, the second pole is coupled to the third node N3, and the gate is electrically connected to the third scan line G3. The fourth transistor M4 is configured to transfer the first voltage V1 on the first signal line XL1 to the third node N3.
[0129] Figure 19 The timing diagram of the pixel circuit shown can be as Figure 7 shown. The operation process of the pixel circuit 01 includes a threshold compensation stage Z1 and a data writing stage Z2 that occurs after the threshold compensation stage Z1.
[0130] Among them, the second transistor M2 is turned on during the threshold compensation stage Z1 and the data writing stage Z2, the third transistor M3 is turned on during the data writing stage Z2, and the fourth transistor M4 transfers the first voltage V1 to the third node N3 during the threshold compensation stage Z1 or before the threshold compensation stage Z1.
[0131] In the embodiment of the present application, the threshold compensation stage Z1 and the data writing stage Z2 can be carried out separately. If the fourth transistor M4 transfers the first voltage V1 to the third node N3 during the threshold compensation stage Z1 or before the threshold compensation stage Z1, then during the threshold compensation stage Z1, the first voltage V1 can be transferred to the gate of the driving transistor Td through the driving transistor Td and the turned-on second transistor M2, thereby compensating the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Td to the gate of the driving transistor Td.
[0132] In this way, the threshold voltage compensation duration of the driving transistor Td is no longer limited by the duration of writing the data voltage Vdata, which is beneficial to completely compensating the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Td during the operation process of the pixel circuit 01, thereby being beneficial to largely eliminating the influence of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Td on the light-emitting driving current, and further being beneficial to improving the brightness uniformity of different light-emitting devices 02.
[0133] In addition, as Figure 19 shown, the pixel circuit 01 further includes a fifth transistor M5, a first capacitor C1, and a second capacitor C2. The first pole of the fifth transistor M5 is electrically connected to the third node N3, the second pole is electrically connected to the fourth node N4, and the gate is electrically connected to the second light-emitting control signal line EM2. The fourth node N4 is electrically connected to the first pole of the light-emitting device 02, and the light-emitting device 02 can be an organic light-emitting diode, and the first pole of the light-emitting device 02 can be its anode.
[0134] One plate of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the second node N2, and the other plate is electrically connected to the third node N3. One plate of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the power supply signal line DL1, and the other plate is electrically connected to the first node N1.
