[0032] The present application will now be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings in which various embodiments are shown. However, the present application may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure will be exhaustive and comprehensive, and will fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals always refer to the same elements.

[0033] It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being “on” another element, the element can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may be present therebetween. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on” another element, there are no intervening elements present.

[0034] It will be understood that although the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. can be used to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and / or parts in this article, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or parts should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or part from another element, component, region, layer or part. Therefore, without departing from the teachings herein, the "first element", "first component", "first region", "first layer" or "first part" discussed below can be referred to as the second element, second component, second region, second layer or second part.

[0035] The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to be limited. As used herein, "a", "an", "the" and "at least one" do not represent the limitation of quantity, and are intended to include both the singular and the plural, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. For example, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, "element" has the same meaning as "at least one element". "At least one" is not interpreted as limiting "a" or "an". "Or" means "and / or". As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the items listed in the association. It will be further understood that the term "comprises" and / or "comprising", or "includes" and / or "including" specifies the existence of stated features, regions, wholes, steps, operations, elements and / or components when used in this specification, but does not exclude the existence or addition of one or more other features, regions, wholes, steps, operations, elements, components and / or their groups.

[0036] In addition, relative terms such as "lower" or "bottom" and "upper" or "top" may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element to another element as shown in the figures. It will be understood that relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device other than the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in one of the figures is flipped, the element described as being on the "lower" side of the other elements will be oriented to be on the "upper" side of the other elements. Therefore, the term "lower" can include both the orientations of "lower" and "upper", depending on the specific orientation of the figure. Similarly, if the device in one of the figures is flipped, the element described as being "below" or "below" the other elements will be oriented to be "above" the other elements. Therefore, the terms "below" and "below" can include both the orientations of the upper and lower parts.

[0037] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. It will be further understood that terms (such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries) should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense, unless explicitly defined as such herein.

[0038] The embodiments described herein should not be construed as being limited to the specific shapes of the regions illustrated herein, but rather include deviations in shape caused by, for example, manufacturing. For example, a region illustrated or described as flat may typically have rough and / or nonlinear features. In addition, illustrated sharp corners may be rounded. Therefore, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shapes of the regions and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0100] Figure 6 The figure shows that when the driving frequency of the display panel 100 is 240 Hz Figure 4 and Figure 5 1 is a timing diagram of the driving signal of the pixel PXL.

[0101] The timing diagram of the gate signal of the first pixel circuit PX and the timing diagram of the gate signal of the second pixel circuit PX+1 are substantially the same as each other. Therefore, for the convenience of illustration and description, the timing diagram of the gate signal of the first pixel circuit PX will be described as an example, and the timing diagram of the gate signal of the second pixel circuit PX+1 will be omitted.

[0102] In an embodiment, when the driving frequency of the display panel 100 is the maximum driving frequency, one data write operation and one self-scanning operation may be performed during a frame period, and when the driving frequency of the display panel 100 is not the maximum driving frequency, one data write operation and at least two self-scanning operations may be performed during a frame period.

[0103] like Figure 6 As shown in , the display panel 100 can be driven at a variable frequency, for example, at a maximum of 240 Hz. When the display panel 100 is driven at 240 Hz, the light emitting operation of the first pixel light emitting element EEA can be performed at 480 Hz, the threshold voltage compensation operation of the first pixel driving transistor T1A can be performed at 240 Hz, the initialization operation of the anode electrode of the first pixel light emitting element EEA can be performed at 240 Hz, and the initialization operation of the gate electrode of the first pixel driving transistor T1A can be performed at 240 Hz.

[0104] When the display panel 100 is driven at 240Hz, the data write gate signal GW and the anode initialization gate signal GB may have an activation pulse in each of the first period P1 to the eighth period P8. Here, each of the first period P1 to the eighth period P8 may be a period of light emitting operation of the pixel, which is half of the frame period of the display panel when driven at the maximum driving frequency. Therefore, in such an embodiment, when the display panel 100 is driven at 240Hz, the data initialization gate signal GI and the compensation gate signal GC may have an activation pulse only in the first period P1, the third period P3, the fifth period P5, and the seventh period P7. Therefore, the data write operation may be performed only in the first period P1, the third period P3, the fifth period P5, and the seventh period P7.

[0105] In the embodiment, as described above, when the display panel 100 is driven at 240 Hz and the light emitting operation is driven at 480 Hz, it can be said that the display panel 100 operates at 2 cycles.

[0106] When the display panel 100 is driven at 120 Hz, the light emitting operation of the first pixel light emitting element EEA may be performed at 480 Hz, the threshold voltage compensation operation of the first pixel driving transistor T1A may be performed at 120 Hz, the initialization operation of the anode electrode of the first pixel light emitting element EEA may be performed at 120 Hz, and the initialization operation of the gate electrode of the first pixel driving transistor T1A may be performed at 120 Hz.

[0107] When the display panel 100 is driven at 120 Hz, the data write gate signal GW and the anode initialization gate signal GB may have an activation pulse in each of the first period P1 to the eighth period P8. However, the data initialization gate signal GI and the compensation gate signal GC may have an activation pulse only in the first period P1 and the fifth period P5. Therefore, the data write operation may be performed only in the first period P1 and the fifth period P5.

[0108] In such an embodiment, as described above, when the display panel 100 is driven at 120 Hz and the light emitting operation is driven at 480 Hz, it can be said that the display panel 100 operates in 4 cycles.

[0109] Figure 7 is a timing chart illustrating an example of a gate signal in a data writing period. Figure 8 is a timing chart illustrating an example of a gate signal in a self-scan period.

[0110] refer to Figures 1 to 8 , the display device 10 supporting a variable frequency (or operable in a variable frequency) may include a data writing period in which a data voltage is written to a pixel and a self-scanning period in which a data voltage is not written to the pixel and only light is emitted.

[0111] In an embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown in , when a data write operation is performed, each of the data initialization gate signal GI, the compensation gate signal GC, the data write gate signal GW, the anode initialization gate signal GB, and the emission signal EM may include at least one turn-on voltage period.

[0112] Since the first pixel first light emitting transistor T5A and the first pixel second light emitting transistor T6A are turned off in the period in which the emission signal EM has the disable level, the first pixel light emitting element EEA may not emit light. When the emission signal EM is changed to the activation level, the first pixel first light emitting transistor T5A and the first pixel second light emitting transistor T6A are turned on, so that the first pixel light emitting element EEA can emit light.

[0113] The data initialization gate signal GI may be applied to the gate electrode of the first pixel initialization transistor T4A. Since the first pixel initialization transistor T4A is turned on when the data initialization gate signal GI is at an active level, the initialization voltage VINT may be applied to the second electrode of the first pixel driving transistor T1A through the first pixel initialization transistor T4A.

[0114] The compensation gate signal GC may be applied to the gate electrode of the first pixel compensation transistor T3A. Since the first pixel compensation transistor T3A is turned on when the compensation gate signal GC is at an active level, the threshold voltage of the first pixel driving transistor T1A may be compensated by the first pixel compensation transistor T3A.

[0115] A portion of the on-voltage period of the data initialization gate signal GI and a portion of the on-voltage period of the compensation gate signal GC may overlap with each other. When a portion of the on-voltage period of the data initialization gate signal GI and a portion of the on-voltage period of the compensation gate signal GC overlap with each other (i.e., when the data initialization gate signal GI and the compensation gate signal GC are simultaneously at an activation level), an initialization operation of the gate electrode of the first pixel driving transistor T1A may be performed. When the data initialization gate signal GI and the compensation gate signal GC are simultaneously at an activation level, the first pixel compensation transistor T3A and the first pixel initialization transistor T4A may be turned on, and the initialization voltage VINT may be applied to the gate electrode of the first pixel driving transistor T1A through the first pixel compensation transistor T3A and the first pixel initialization transistor T4A.

[0116] The data write gate signal GW may be applied to the gate electrode of the first pixel write transistor T2A. When the data write gate signal GW is at an active level, the first pixel write transistor T2A may be turned on and the first pixel data voltage VDATA1 may be applied to the first pixel second node N2A through the first pixel write transistor T2A.

[0117] The anode initialization gate signal GB may be applied to the gate electrode of the first anode initialization transistor T7A. When the anode initialization gate signal GB is at an activation level, the first anode initialization transistor T7A may be turned on, and the anode initialization voltage VAINT may be applied to the anode electrode of the first pixel light emitting element EEA through the first anode initialization transistor T7A.

[0118] In an embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown in , when performing a self-scan operation, each of the data write gate signal GW, the anode initialization gate signal GB, and the emission signal EM may include at least one on-voltage period, and each of the data initialization gate signal GI and the compensation gate signal GC may not include an on-voltage period.

[0119] Since the data writing gate signal GW and the anode initialization gate signal GB have two activation pulses, the data writing operation and the initialization operation of the anode electrode of the first pixel light emitting element EEA can be performed twice. Figure 8 , the data write gate signal GW and the anode initialization gate signal GB are illustrated as having two activation pulses, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the data write gate signal GW and the anode initialization gate signal GB may have one activation pulse or three or more activation pulses.

[0120] because Figure 8 The self-scan period is shown, so the data initialization gate signal GI, the compensation gate signal GC and the data writing gate signal GW may have Figure 8 For example, the disable level of the data initialization gate signal GI and the compensation gate signal GC may be a low level, and the disable level of the data write gate signal GW may be a high level.

[0121] The anode initialization gate signal GB may have an activation level. When the anode initialization gate signal GB is at the activation level, the first anode initialization transistor T7A may be turned on, and the anode initialization voltage VAINT may be applied to the anode electrode of the first pixel light emitting element EEA through the first anode initialization transistor T7A.

[0122] In an embodiment, as described above, the display panel 100 may include a first display region DR[1] to an Nth display region DR[N] arranged in a row direction. The Pth display region DR[P] may include a first pixel circuit PX, the first pixel circuit PX including a first pixel driving transistor T1A, a first pixel initialization transistor T4A configured to receive an initialization voltage VINT, and a first pixel compensation transistor T3A configured to connect the first pixel driving transistor T1A and the first pixel initialization transistor T4A based on a compensation gate signal GC. In such an embodiment, the Pth display region DR[P] may include a first control transistor TC1[P] configured to output a high gate voltage VGH of the compensation gate signal GC and a second control transistor TC2[P] configured to output a low gate voltage VGL of the compensation gate signal GC. The first control transistor TC1[P] and the second control transistor TC2[P] may be controlled based on the Pth display region control signal DRC[P]. Therefore, the display device 10 may drive the display regions arranged to be adjacent to each other in the row direction at different driving frequencies, respectively.

[0123] In such an embodiment, the first pixel compensation transistor T3A can be connected in series to the first pixel initialization transistor T4A. Therefore, the display device 10 can adjust the compensation gate signal GC based on the Pth display area control signal DRC[P] to drive the display areas arranged to be adjacent to each other in the row direction at different driving frequencies.
