[0147] Detailed Explanation
[0148] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the implementation methods can be carried out in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the methods and content can be transformed into various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the content described in the following embodiments. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other. To keep the following description of the embodiments of this disclosure clear and concise, detailed descriptions of some known functions and components have been omitted. The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this disclosure only relate to the structures involved in the embodiments of this disclosure; other structures can be referred to with reference to general designs.
[0149] The scale of the figures in this disclosure can be used as a reference in actual manufacturing processes, but is not limited thereto. For example, the aspect 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 not limited to the quantities shown in the figures. The figures described in this disclosure are only schematic diagrams of the structure, and one aspect of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the figures.
[0150] The ordinal numbers “first,” “second,” and “third” used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit their quantity.
[0151] In this specification, for convenience, terms such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description and simplification, and does not imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements may be appropriately varied depending on the orientation of each constituent element being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.
[0152] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.
[0153] In this specification, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A 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 the region through which current primarily flows.
[0154] In this specification, the first electrode can be the drain electrode and the second electrode can be the source electrode, or vice versa. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may sometimes be interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged.
[0155] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the situation where components are connected together by elements that have a certain electrical function. There are no particular limitations on what constitutes an "electrical function," as long as it allows for the transmission and reception of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "electrical functions" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements with various functions.
[0156] In this specification, "parallel" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than 10°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than 5°. Similarly, "perpendicular" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 100°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than 95°.
[0157] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may sometimes be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may sometimes be replaced with "insulating layer."
[0158] In this specification, the term "same-layer arrangement" refers to a structure formed by patterning two (or more) structures through the same patterning process, and their materials may be the same or different. For example, the precursors forming multiple structures in a same-layer arrangement may be made of the same material, while the final materials may be the same or different.
[0159] In this specification, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons are not strictly defined; they can be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons. Small deformations due to tolerances are possible, as are chamfers, curved edges, and other variations.
[0160] In this disclosure, “about” means a value that is not strictly limited and allows for process and measurement errors.
[0161] The display product includes at least one sub-pixel, which comprises a pixel driving circuit and a light-emitting device. The pixel driving circuit drives the light-emitting device to emit light. The pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor. The gate electrode of the driving transistor is connected to multiple transistors, resulting in a large parasitic capacitance value coupled to the gate electrode of the driving transistor. This reduces the follow-up ratio of the gate electrode voltage and source electrode voltage of the pixel driving circuit, causing a deviation in the driving signal voltage maintained between the gate electrode and source electrode of the driving transistor. This reduces the consistency of the display brightness of the display product and affects the display effect of the display substrate.
[0162] Therefore, this disclosure provides a pixel driving circuit.
[0163] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the pixel driving circuit provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 1, the pixel driving circuit provided in an embodiment of this disclosure may include: a driving sub-circuit, a coupling sub-circuit, a holding sub-circuit, a first initial sub-circuit, and a light emission control sub-circuit.
[0164] The driving sub-circuit is electrically connected to the first node N1, the second node N2 and the third node N3 respectively, and is configured to provide a driving signal to the third node N3 under the control of the signals of the first node N1 and the second node N2.
[0165] The first initial sub-circuit is electrically connected to the first input signal terminal IN1, the first scan signal terminal Gate1, and the first node N1, respectively, and is configured to provide the signal of the first input signal terminal IN1 to the first node N1 under the control of the signal of the first scan signal terminal Gate1.
[0166] The coupling sub-circuit is electrically connected to at least one scan signal terminal Gate, a data signal terminal Data, a second input signal terminal IN2, and a third node N3, respectively, and is configured to couple the signal of the data signal terminal Data or the signal of the second input signal terminal IN2 to the third node N3 under the control of the signal of at least one scan signal terminal Gate.
[0167] The holding sub-circuit, electrically connected to the first node N1 and the third node N3 respectively, is configured to store the voltage difference between the signals of the first node N1 and the third node N3.
[0168] The light-emitting control sub-circuit is electrically connected to the first light-emitting signal terminal EM1, the first power supply terminal VDD, and the second node N2, respectively. It is configured to provide the first power supply terminal VDD signal to the second node N2 under the control of the signal from the first light-emitting signal terminal EM1.
[0169] In an exemplary embodiment, the first power supply terminal VDD can continuously provide a high-level signal, and the signal of the first power supply terminal VDD is a DC signal.
[0170] In this disclosure, the first initial sub-circuit connected to the first node is only electrically connected to the first input signal terminal and the first scan signal terminal. This means that the number of transistors connected to the first node is relatively small. Furthermore, the setting of the coupling sub-circuit can couple the data from the data signal terminal to the third node connected to the driving sub-circuit, reducing the number of transistors directly coupled to the first node connected to the driving sub-circuit. It can also achieve normal data writing and threshold compensation. Therefore, the pixel driving circuit provided in this disclosure embodiment can reduce the parasitic capacitance coupled to the first node N1 while ensuring normal display. This makes it less likely for the voltage of the driving signal maintained between the gate electrode and the source electrode of the driving sub-circuit to deviate, ensuring the consistency of the display brightness of the display product and improving the display effect of the display substrate.

[0516] Where K is a constant related to the process and design, and Vgs is the voltage difference between the gate electrode and the second electrode of the third transistor T3.
[0517] The difference between the pixel driving circuit shown in Figure 48 and the pixel driving circuit shown in Figure 47 is that the initialization of the second node N2 occurs after the data writing stage and before the light emission stage, so as to bias the driving transistor and thus improve the hysteresis effect after the driving transistor has been in operation for a long time.
[0518] In the exemplary embodiment, the control electrode (i.e., the first node) of the third transistor (driving transistor) in the pixel driving circuit provided in Figures 17, 18, 21, 22, 31, 32, 33, 36 to 40 is only electrically connected to the first transistor T1. That is, during the light-emitting stage, the capacitance value of the parasitic capacitance coupled to the control electrode of the third transistor is small, so that the parasitic capacitance of the first transistor has little impact on the signal of the first node N1.

This makes it less likely for the voltage of the driving signal maintained between the gate electrode and the source electrode of the driving sub-circuit to deviate, ensuring the consistency of the display brightness of the display product and improving the display effect of the display substrate.
[0520] In an exemplary embodiment, all transistors in the pixel driving circuit can be N-type transistors; or some transistors can be N-type transistors and some transistors can be P-type transistors. N-type transistors can be made of semiconductor oxide materials, while P-type transistors can be made of low-temperature polycrystalline silicon. P-type transistors have a higher MOB (Mean Optical Bound) and Ion (Ion) than N-type transistors, allowing for rapid switching on and off in scenarios with high light emission and anode reset frequencies. For example, the fifth transistor T5 can be a P-type transistor, meaning it is off when the signal at the first light emission signal terminal EM1 is high and on when the signal is low. Alternatively, the fifth and sixth transistors can be P-type transistors, or the fifth, sixth, and seventh transistors can be P-type transistors, which is beneficial for high-frequency refresh and suitable for PWM dimming scenarios. Alternatively, the fourth transistor can be a P-type transistor, which can improve data writing speed. In this case, the second scan signal terminal Gate2 and the third scan signal terminal Gate3 can receive the same signal.

[0523] Since the signal of the first node N1 before the light-emitting stage is the signal of the first input signal terminal IN1, that is, V1 = V IN1 Therefore, Vgs = V1 - V3 = [C2 / (C1 + C2 + C OLED )]*(V IN2 -Vdata)+Vth

[0525] Since the signal of the first node N1 before the light-emitting stage is the signal of the first input signal terminal IN1, that is, V1 = V IN1 Therefore, Vgs = V1 - V3 = [C2 / (C1 + C2)] * (V IN2 -Vdata)+Vth

The second driving frequency can be a frequency in low-frequency driving mode. The hold period can include a first hold period and a second hold period. In the first hold period, only the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, and all other transistors are turned off to reset the anode of the light-emitting device, i.e., the signal at the fourth scan signal terminal Gate4 is an effective level signal. The seventh transistor T7 can be turned on multiple times, and the number of times is not limited. In the second hold period, the seventh transistor T7 is turned off, and the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, and the light-emitting device L emits light.
[0527] When the embodiment further includes an eighth transistor T8, the eighth transistor T8 may also be turned on during the first holding phase, writing the fourth initial signal into the second node N2 to bias the driving transistor; the turn-on time of the eighth transistor T8 may occur after the turn-on time of the seventh transistor T7, or it may be at the same time as the turn-on time of the seventh transistor T7. This disclosure does not limit this. The eighth transistor T8 may be turned on multiple times, and the number of times is not limited.

[0534] The third node in the aforementioned pixel driving circuit is easily affected by the signals from the data signal terminal or the second input signal terminal, making the signal of the third node unstable and reducing the reliability of the pixel driving circuit.
