[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] The terms "first", "second", and the like in the present application are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or modules is not limited to the listed steps or modules, but can optionally include steps or modules not listed, or can optionally include other steps or modules inherent to the process, method, product, or device.

[0022] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that the specific features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiments can be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The phrase appears at various places in the specification does not necessarily all refer to the same embodiments, nor is it necessarily mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0023] In the field of display technology, the display panel may, for example, be an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display panel, a liquid crystal display panel, and of course, the display panel can also be a Mini-LED display panel or a Micro-LED display panel. Exemplarily as shown in Figure 1 The display panel 100 can include a plurality of pixel units PX arranged in an array, a plurality of gate lines G1-Gn, and a plurality of data lines D1-Dm. Among them, the pixel units PX arranged along the first direction (exemplarily as shown in Figure 1 The pixel units PX arranged along the first direction (exemplarily as shown in Figure 1The pixel units PX arranged in the vertical direction as shown can be defined as a pixel column. The pixel units PX can include red (R) pixel units, green (G) pixel units, and blue (B) pixel units. An exemplary arrangement of the red pixel units, the green pixel units, and the blue pixel units can be that the pixel units PX in the same pixel row have the same color, the pixel units in the same pixel column have different colors, and the pixel units of different colors are arranged alternately along the second direction. Another exemplary arrangement of the red pixel units, the green pixel units, and the blue pixel units can be that the pixel units PX in the same pixel column have the same color, the pixel units in the same pixel row have different colors, and the pixel units of different colors are arranged alternately along the first direction.

[0024] As shown in Figure 1 The plurality of gate lines can exemplarily include gate lines G1, G2, …, Gn arranged along the second direction, and each of the gate lines is connected with the pixel units in a pixel row for transmitting a scanning signal. The plurality of data lines can exemplarily include data lines D1, D2, …, Dm arranged along the first direction, and each of the data lines is connected with the pixel units in at least one pixel column for transmitting a data signal. The data signal and the scanning signal can be used to turn on the corresponding pixel units.

[0025] At present, in order to reduce the number of source driving chips for providing data signals, the mux multiplexing technology can effectively reduce the number of input channels of the data signals. Exemplarily, referring to Figure 2 the display panel as shown and Figure 3The ideal control timing is shown. The display panel 100 includes two multiplexing units, and each multiplexing unit adopts mux1:2 multiplexing. The first multiplexing unit can include a first selection transistor K1 and a second selection transistor K2, which are controlled by the selection signals transmitted by the selection control lines Demux A and Demux B respectively, and the selection signals transmitted by the selection control lines Demux A and Demux B are in turn at the active level, so as to control the first selection transistor K1 and the second selection transistor K2 to be turned on at different times, so as to transmit the data signal provided by Source1 to the pixel units in the corresponding pixel column through the data line D1 and the data line D3 at different times. The second multiplexing unit can include a third selection transistor K3 and a fourth selection transistor K4, which are also controlled by the selection signals transmitted by the selection control lines Demux A and Demux B respectively, and the selection signals transmitted by the selection control lines Demux A and Demux B are in turn at the active level, so as to control the third selection transistor K3 and the fourth selection transistor K4 to be turned on at different times, so as to transmit the data signal provided by Source2 to the pixel units in the corresponding pixel column through the data line D4 and the data line D2 at different times. It should be noted that, Figure 2 The symbols "+" and "-" in the above formula represent the polarity of the pixel unit. The box R represents a red pixel unit; the box G represents a green pixel unit; and the box B represents a blue pixel unit. Source1 and Source2 represent two data input lines (or channels) for providing data signals, which can be included in one source driving chip (Source IC) or in different Source ICs. For example, Source1 and Source2 can be different pins in one source driving chip (Source IC) or pins of different Source ICs. In this application and the drawings, the drawings of the pixel units are the same as those represented by the above formula, and will not be described in detail hereinafter. Figure 2

[0026] In this way, through the above design, the pixel units in at least four pixel columns can be transmitted by two sources, which can reduce the number of Source ICs, save power consumption and cost. However, in actual use, with the development of display panels towards large size, high resolution and narrow frame (such as vehicle control screen, folding mobile phone, etc.), the RC load of the signal transmission line increases, which makes the delay of the selection signal transmitted by the signal transmission line more serious, so that the data signal is incorrectly provided to the unrelated pixel units, thereby causing the abnormality of the display picture. For example, as Figure 4 shown in FIG. 6, due to the increase of the RC load of the signal transmission line, the falling edge of the selection signal transmitted by the selection control line Demux A is delayed (the selection signal transmitted by the selection control line Demux B is not delayed, which is not shown in the figure), so that the selection signal transmitted by the selection control line Demux A is not transmitted to the selection transistor K1 in time, and the selection signal transmitted by the selection control line Demux B is not transmitted to the selection transistor K2 in time, so that the data signal provided by Source1 is incorrectly transmitted to the pixel units in the pixel column corresponding to the selection control line Demux B through the data line D3, and the data signal provided by Source2 is incorrectly transmitted to the pixel units in the pixel column corresponding to the selection control line Demux A through the data line D4. Figure 4 ​As shown by the number 1, when the selection signal transmitted by the selection control line Demux B is converted from the invalid level to the valid level, the selection signal transmitted by the selection control line Demux A does not drop to the invalid level, at this time, the selection transistor K1 is still in the on state, at this time, the data signal to be provided to the pixel unit connected with the data line D3 will also be provided to the pixel unit connected with the data line D1, in this case, the data signal written to the pixel unit connected with the data line D1 when the selection signal transmitted by the selection control line Demux A is in the valid level is covered by the newly written data signal (the data signal transmitted when the selection signal transmitted by the selection control line Demux B is in the valid level), which will cause the data signal written to the pixel unit connected with the data line D1 to be different from the originally designed one, thereby causing display abnormalities. The analysis of the remaining selection signals and selection transistors can be referred to the foregoing understanding, and will not be described in detail. As shown in the following figure, the selection signals transmitted by the selection control lines Demux A and Demux B are in the invalid level, and the selection signals transmitted by the selection control lines Demux C and Demux D are in the valid level. Figure 3 or Figure 4 As shown, the valid level can refer to the state that the selection signal is in the high level. The invalid level can refer to the state that the selection signal is in the low level. It should be noted that the valid level and the invalid level are relative, which is related to the type of the selection transistors K1-K4, which is not limited in the present application. It should be understood that, Figure 2 As shown, the data lines D1-D4 are only marked for the convenience of description, and are not used to limit the present application. The same is true for the following figures, and the following will not be declared.

[0027] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a display panel, by designing a multiplexing circuit and an error-proof charging circuit, by adding a direct current signal in the invalid level, the inverse output of different split selection signals can be realized, so as to prevent the data signal from being incorrectly provided to the irrelevant pixel unit and causing the display picture abnormal, thereby realizing the effective provision of the data signal of the plurality of pixel columns, avoiding signal interference and mis-transmission, and improving the display performance of the display panel.

Wherein; the multiplexing circuit 101 can include at least one multiplexing unit 1011, the multiplexing unit 1011 includes a first selection transistor (such as K11 and K21) and a second selection transistor (such as K12 and K22), wherein; the source and drain of the first selection transistor (such as K11 and K21) are connected between a data input line (such as source1 or source2) and a first data line (such as D1 or D4), the control electrode of the first selection transistor (such as K11 or K21) is connected with a first selection control line (such as DemuxR1); the source and drain of the second selection transistor (such as K12 or K22) are connected between the data input line and a second data line (such as D3 or D2), the control electrode of the second selection transistor (such as K12 or K22) is connected with a second selection control line (such as DemuxG1).

[0030] The error-proof charging circuit 102 comprises an inverting control unit 1021 corresponding to the multiplexing unit, and the inverting control unit 1021 comprises a first inverting control group and a second inverting control group. The first inverting control group comprises a first inverting transistor (such as TR1), and the second inverting control group comprises a second inverting transistor (such as TG1). The source and drain of the first inverting transistor (such as TR1) are connected between the second selection control line (such as DemuxG1) and a low-level power supply line VGL, and the control electrode of the first inverting transistor (such as TR1) is connected with the first selection control line (such as DemuxR1).

The multiplexing unit 101 is configured to, in response to the first selection signal transmitted by the first selection control line DemuxR1 and the second selection signal transmitted by the second selection control line (such as DemuxG1) being in an effective level in sequence, make the first selection transistor (such as K11 or K21) and the second selection transistor (such as K12 or K22) conductive in sequence to connect the data input line with the first data line (such as D1 or D4) and the second data line (such as D3 or D2) in time sharing mode, and provide a data signal for a corresponding pixel unit. The inverting control unit 1021 is configured to, in response to the first selection signal being in the effective level, control the first inverting transistor (such as TR1) to conduct to pull or maintain the level of the control electrode of the second selection transistor (such as K12 and K22) to an ineffective level; and in response to the second selection signal being in the effective level, control the second inverting transistor (such as TG1) to conduct to pull or maintain the level of the control electrode of the first selection transistor (such as K11 and K21) to an ineffective level.

That is, the plurality of data input lines are contained in one or more source driving chips. Since one multiplexing unit can provide data signals for at least two data lines, the number of source driving chips can be saved in actual use. Each multiplexing unit comprises a first selection transistor and a second selection transistor, wherein, as shown in Figure 5As shown, the selection transistor K11 and the selection transistor K21 are the first selection transistors in different multiplexing units, and the selection transistor K12 and the selection transistor K22 are the second selection transistors in different multiplexing units.

The working principle of the multiplexing unit composed of the selection transistor K21 and the selection transistor K22 is similar, and will not be described here.

[0033] For the working principle of the error-proof charging circuit, as shown in Figure 6 As shown, the first inverting transistor (such as TR1) of the first inverting control group in the inverting control unit 1021 is turned on in response to the first selection signal being at the effective level, to pull or maintain the level of the control electrode of the second selection transistor (such as K12 and K22) at the ineffective level (as shown in the position pointed by the number 2 in the middle), to turn off the connection between the data input line (at this time, source1) corresponding to the second data line (at this time, D3) and stop providing the data signal for the second data line (at this time, D3), and turn off the connection between the data input line (at this time, source2) corresponding to the second data line (at this time, D2) and stop providing the data signal for the second data line (at this time, D2).
