[0092] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0093] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, below will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. One skilled in the art can easily understand that the manner and content 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 combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict. In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and brief, the detailed description of some known functions and known components is omitted. The drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure only involve the structures related to the embodiments of the present disclosure, and other structures can be referred to the generally designed
[0094] The proportions of the drawings in the present disclosure can be used as a reference in the actual process, but are not limited thereto. For example, the width-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, and the width and spacing of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are also not limited to the number shown in the drawings. The drawings described in the present disclosure are only schematic diagrams of the structures, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.
[0095] The ordinal numbers "first", "second", "third" and the like in the present specification are set in order to avoid confusion of the components, and are not intended to be limiting in terms of number.

The positional relationship of the components is appropriately changed according to the direction in which each component is described. Therefore, it is not limited to the words described in the specification, and can be appropriately changed according to the situation.
[0097] In this specification, unless explicitly defined and limited otherwise, the terms "mount", "connected", "connected" should be broadly understood. For example, it can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate, or communication between two elements inside. 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.
[0098] In this specification, a transistor refers to an element including at least a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. The transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or 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 refers to a region through which current mainly flows.
[0099] 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 with opposite polarity or in the case of changing the direction of current in the circuit operation, the functions of "source electrode" and "drain electrode" are sometimes exchanged with each other. Therefore, in this specification, "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be exchanged with each other.
[0100] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes the case where the components are connected through an element having a certain electrical effect. The element having a certain electrical effect is not particularly limited as long as it can perform the transmission and reception of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of the element having a certain electrical effect include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, other elements having various functions, and the like.
[0101] In the present specification, "parallel" refers to a state in which two straight lines form an angle of -10° or more and 10° or less, and thus also includes a state in which the angle is -5° or more and 5° or less. In addition, "perpendicular" refers to a state in which two straight lines form an angle of 80° or more and 100° or less, and thus also includes a state in which the angle is 85° or more and 95° or less.
[0102] In the present specification, "film" and "layer" can be replaced with each other. For example, "conductive layer" can be replaced with "conductive film" at times. Similarly, "insulating film" can be replaced with "insulating layer" at times.
[0103] In the present specification, "same layer" refers to two (or more) structures formed by patterning at the same time, and the materials thereof can be the same or different. For example, the materials of the precursors for forming the plurality of structures in the same layer are the same, and the materials finally formed can be the same or different.
[0104] In the present specification, a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon, etc. are not strictly so, and can be an approximate triangle, rectangle, trapezoid, pentagon, or hexagon, etc. There can be some small deformation due to a tolerance, and there can be an inside corner, an arc edge, and a deformation, etc.
[0105] In the present disclosure, "about" refers to not strictly limited boundaries, allowing values within a range of process and measurement errors.
[0106] The display panel of the OLED or QLED includes a substrate and a plurality of sub-pixels disposed on the substrate, at least one sub-pixel including a pixel driving circuit. A driving transistor in the pixel driving circuit is used to provide a driving signal to drive the OLED or QLED to emit light. The threshold voltage of the driving transistor largely determines the display quality in compensation for spatial and temporal variability, and the threshold voltage of the driving transistor is easily disturbed by external voltage fluctuations during the generation process, affecting the display effect.

[0111] In the partial time period, the difference between the voltage value of the signal of the control electrode of the driving transistor T3 and the voltage value of the signal of the second electrode of the driving transistor T3 is the threshold voltage V th .
[0112] The signal of the second electrode of the driving transistor is controlled by the signal holding sub-circuit, so that the threshold voltage V th of the driving transistor T3 can be reset, obtained and held. The signal of the control electrode of the driving transistor is controlled by the preset bias sub-circuit, so that the preset bias and bootstrap holding can be realized.
[0113] In an example embodiment, the pixel driving circuit includes display frames and refresh frames, and the voltage generation circuit generates and stores the threshold voltage of the driving transistor in the refresh frame between two adjacent display frames.
[0114] In an example embodiment, the partial time period is the time period of the refresh frame between two adjacent display frames in the pixel driving circuit.

As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, in an example embodiment, the voltage generation circuit can include a signal holding capacitor C hdg , a first switching element SW1, and a second switching element SW2.
[0119] In an example embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the first switching element SW1 is configured to be turned on or turned off under the control of a signal of the first sub-control signal terminal, and the second switching element SW2 is configured to be turned on or turned off under the control of a signal of the second sub-control signal terminal; the signal holding capacitor C hdg is electrically connected with the first bias signal terminal Vbas and the first node N1 respectively, the first switching element SW1 is electrically connected with the initial signal terminal Vinit and the first node N1 respectively, and the second switching element SW2 is electrically connected with the first node N1 and the second electrode of the driving transistor T3 respectively.
[0120] In an example embodiment, the preset bias sub-circuit is further electrically connected with a first power supply terminal Vdd, and the at least one second control signal terminal includes a third sub-control signal terminal.
[0121] In an example embodiment, the preset bias sub-circuit can include a bias capacitor C bst and a third switching element SW3; the third switching element SW3 is configured to be turned on or turned off under the control of a signal of the third sub-control signal terminal; a first end of the bias capacitor C bst is electrically connected with the first power supply terminal Vdd, a second end of the bias capacitor C bst is electrically connected with the control electrode of the driving transistor, and the third switching element SW3 is electrically connected with the reference signal terminal Vref and the control electrode of the driving transistor respectively.
[0122] In an example embodiment, the first end of the bias capacitor C bst may be referred to as a bias reference terminal, and the second end of the bias capacitor C bst may be referred to as a bias variation terminal.
[0123] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first end of the bias capacitor C bst is connected with the first power supply terminal Vdd, which can avoid the voltage between the first end of the bias capacitor C bst and the first power supply Vdd from being disturbed by the fluctuation of an external voltage (the voltage V dt of the data signal terminal Data).
[0124] In an example embodiment, a first end of the biasing capacitor C bst may be connected to a fixed voltage relative to the first terminal of the driving transistor, or a first end of the biasing capacitor C bst may be connected to a voltage terminal that satisfies the required voltage range between the gate and the first terminal of the driving transistor and is not sensitive to external interference of the charging circuit.
[0125] In an example embodiment, a first end of the signal holding capacitor C hdg connected to the first node (i.e., the second terminal of the driving transistor) is referred to as a voltage variation terminal, and a second end of the signal holding capacitor C hdg is referred to as a voltage reference terminal, wherein the voltage reference terminal of the signal holding capacitor C hdg may be electrically connected to the first biasing signal terminal Vbas.
[0126] The generation mechanism of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor is to charge or discharge the voltage variation terminal of the signal holding capacitor C hdg through the driving transistor by the related power supply. In the generation of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor, due to the need for multiple biasing voltage support, the threshold voltage generation process of the driving transistor is sensitive to the fluctuation of the external gate bias voltage transmitted through the multiple DC voltage network.
[0127] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor is generated in a source follower manner for variability compensation, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor is generated based on the second terminal (source) of the driving transistor, and the required gate voltage range of the driving transistor is ensured by the bootstrap biasing of the biasing capacitor C bst , which eliminates the dependence of the threshold voltage generation process of the driving transistor on the external gate bias voltage and realizes the insensitivity of the threshold voltage generation process of the driving transistor to differential mode interference.
[0128] In an example embodiment, the voltage value V init of the initial signal terminal Vinit is less than the difference between the voltage value V ref of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor V th and the voltage value of the reference signal terminal Vref, i.e., V init <V ref -V th .
[0129] In an example embodiment, the difference between the voltage value V d of the first power supply terminal Vdd and the voltage value V ref of the reference signal terminal Vref is greater than the negative value of the voltage value of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor V th , i.e., V d -V ref >-Vth .
[0130] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the voltage value V d of the first power supply end Vdd is greater than the voltage value V ref of the reference signal end Vref. d The voltage value V ref of the first power supply end Vdd is kept a certain difference from the voltage value V th of the reference signal end Vref, so as to avoid the threshold voltage V th of the driving transistor varying to zero. The threshold voltage V th of the driving transistor varying to zero refers to the case that the driving transistor changes from an enhancement mode transistor to a depletion mode transistor.
[0131] In an exemplary embodiment, FIG. 2A shows a preset bias state of the voltage generation circuit, which refers to the threshold voltage V hdg of the driving transistor at the starting moment t0 of the generation process. By appropriately varying the bias voltage of the varying voltage end, the charging or discharging process is started. FIG. 2B shows an end state of the voltage generation circuit, which refers to the case that the signal holding capacitor C bst and the bias capacitor C hdg vary with the charging or discharging process. The varying voltage of the varying voltage end and the bias capacitor C bst is negatively fed back to the control electrode and the second electrode of the driving transistor, so as to continuously reduce the current passing through the driving transistor. When the difference V gs of the voltage values of the control electrode and the second electrode of the driving transistor caused by the varying of the varying voltage end and the bias capacitor C th is approximately equal to the threshold voltage V th of the driving transistor, the charging or discharging process tends to stop, and the threshold voltage V bst of the driving transistor can be generated at this moment.
[0132] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the generation mechanism of the voltage generation circuit can be that the first switch element SW1 and the third switch element SW3 are respectively turned on, and the bias capacitor C hdg is initialized and reset synchronously with the varying voltage end of the signal holding capacitor C hdg After the initialization and reset, the first switch element SW1 and the third switch element SW3 are respectively turned off. Then, at the starting moment t0, the charging or discharging is started, the second switch element SW2 is turned on, and the generation process of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor is started. In the generation process, the appropriate bias between the control electrode and the first electrode of the driving transistor is maintained by the bias capacitor C bst until the end moment t off of the process.
[0133] In an example embodiment, in the preset bias state shown in FIG. 2A, the voltage value V hdg of the variable voltage end (i.e., the first node N1) is V var (t0) = V init < V ref -V th , the bias capacitor C bst stores the voltage value V bst (t0) = V d -V ref >-V th , the signal holding capacitor C hdg stores the voltage value V hdg (t0) = V init -V bas .
[0134] In an example embodiment, in the process end state of the voltage generation circuit shown in FIG. 2B, the difference value V gs (t off ) ≈ V th of the voltage values of the control electrode and the second electrode of the driving transistor is V hdg , the voltage value V var (t off ) ≈ V ref -V th of the variable voltage end (i.e., the first node N1) is V bst , the bias capacitor C bst stores the voltage value V off (t d ) = V ref -V th >-V hdg , the signal holding capacitor C hdg stores the voltage value V off (t ref ) = V th -V bas .
[0135] An example structure of the voltage generation circuit is shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B respectively. It is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the implementation of the voltage generation circuit is not limited to this.

[0146] In an example embodiment, FIG. 3A shows a pre-bias state of the voltage generation circuit, and FIG. 3B shows an end-of-process state of the voltage generation circuit.
