[0122] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0123] For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, below, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments can be implemented in multiple different forms. It will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that the modes and details can be changed into various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the content described in the following embodiments. The embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other in so far as there is no contradiction in combination unless otherwise mentioned. In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, detailed description of some known functions and known components will be omitted in the present disclosure. The drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure only involve structures related to the embodiments of the present disclosure, and other structures can be referred to the generally designed
[0124] In the drawings, the size, the thickness, or the region of each constituent element shown in some cases is exaggerated for clarity in some cases. Thus, one embodiment of the present disclosure is not necessarily limited to such a scale. The shapes and the sizes of the components shown in the drawings and the relative arrangement thereof are not necessarily limited to those shown in the drawings. The drawings provided only ideal examples, and the shape of the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the shape shown in the drawings and the numerical value and the like.
[0125] In this specification, ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", and "third" are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, and are not intended to limit the number in the aspect of the quantity.
[0126] In this specification, in order to facilitate the description of the present specification and simplify the description, words indicating the orientation or the positional relationship such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", and the like are used to describe the positional relationship of the constituent elements with reference to the drawings, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or the element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and thus cannot be understood as a limitation on the present disclosure. The positional relationship of the constituent elements is appropriately changed according to the direction in which each constituent element is described. Therefore, it is not limited to the words described in the specification, and can be appropriately changed according to the situation.
[0127] In this specification, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mount", "connected", "connection" should be interpreted in a broad sense. For example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integrally connected; can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate component, or the communication inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0128] In this specification, a transistor means an element including at least three terminals of a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. The transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (a drain electrode terminal, a drain region, or a drain electrode) and the source electrode (a source electrode terminal, a source region, or a source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that, in this specification, the channel region means a region where current flows mainly.
[0129] In this specification, the first electrode can be a drain electrode and the second electrode can be a source electrode, or the first electrode can be a source electrode and the second electrode can be a drain electrode. In the case of using a transistor having opposite polarity or in the case of changing the direction of current in circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" are sometimes interchanged. Thus, in this specification, the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" can be interchanged with each other.
[0130] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes the case where components are connected through an element having some function of electricity. The element having some function of electricity is not particularly limited as long as electric signals can be transmitted and received between components to be connected. Examples of the element having some function of electricity include not only an electrode and a wiring but also a switching element such as a transistor, a resistor, an inductor, a capacitor, and another element having some function.

[0176] In an example embodiment, the pixel driving circuit provided by the present disclosure includes a ninth transistor, which can reset the first electrode of the third transistor, improve the variable refresh rate of the display device, and avoid image sticking of the display device.
[0177] In an example embodiment, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 in the pixel driving circuit provided by the present disclosure are controlled by different light-emitting signal lines, which can more flexibly adjust the signal of the second node N2.
[0178] In an example embodiment, the signal of the first reset signal line connected to the pixel driving circuit can be the same as the signal of the first scan signal line connected to the pixel driving circuit of at least the previous row of the pixel driving circuit, and the present disclosure does not make any limitation thereto.

The active layer of the low temperature poly-silicon thin film transistor adopts low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS), and the active layer of the oxide thin film transistor adopts oxide semiconductor (Oxide). The low temperature poly-silicon thin film transistor has the advantages of high mobility and fast charging, and the oxide thin film transistor has the advantage of low leakage current.
