Because a voltage value of a signal of the first node N1 and a voltage value of a signal of the third node N3 are greater than a threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, at this time, the third transistor T3 is turned on, and a signal of the initial signal line INIT is written into the second node N2, to initialize (reset) signals of the second node N2, the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 and clear original charges in the second node N2, the third node N3 and the fourth node N4.

The voltage value of the signal of the first node N1 in the present stage undergoes a jump compared to the voltage value in the previous stage. Therefore, a signal of the third node N3 also undergoes a jump under an action of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2. At this time, the voltage value V3 of the signal of the third node N3 meets V3=Vref-Vth+(Vdata-Vref)*C 1 / (C 1 +C 2 ), where C 1 is the capacitance value of the first capacitor, C 2 is the capacitance value of the second capacitor.

[0176] In a drive process of the pixel driving circuit, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (the driving transistor) is determined by a voltage difference between the control electrode (also the first node N1) and the second electrode (also the third node N3) of the third transistor T3. Because the voltage value V1 of the signal of the first node meets V1= Vdata-[Vref-Vth+(Vdata-Vref)*C 1 / (C 1 +C 2 )]+ Vinit and the voltage value V3 of the signal of the third node N3 meets V3=Vinit, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is as follows. I = K * Vgs − Vth 2 = K * Vdata − Vref − Vth + Vdata − Vref * C 1 / C 1 + C 2 − Vth 2 = K * C 2 / C 1 + C 2 * Vdata − Vref 2

[0233] In an exemplary embodiment, the change of the voltage value of the dynamic signal provided by the dynamic signal line Var affects the voltage of the third node N3, thereby affecting the voltage difference between the control electrode (that is, the first node N1) and the second electrode (that is, the third node N3) of the third transistor T3 (that is, the driving transistor), and finally affecting the magnitude of the light emitting current.

[0234] FIG. 35A is a first working timing diagram of the pixel driving circuit provided in FIG. 22A, which further illustrates the pixel driving circuit according to the present disclosure in conjunction with FIGS. 22A and 35A.
[0235] In a first stage P11 referred to as a reset stage, signals of the second scan signal line G2, the second light emitting signal line EM2, and the third reset signal line Reset3 are high-level signals, and signals of the first scan signal line G1 and the first light emitting signal line EM1 are low-level signals. When the signal of the second scan signal line G2 is a high-level signal, the second transistor T2 is turned on, a signal of the reference signal line REF is written into the first node N1, to initialize (reset) a signal of the first node N1 and clear original charges in the first node N1. Signals of the second light emitting signal line EM2 and the third reset signal line Reset3 are high-level signals, the fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, and a signal of the dynamic signal line Var is written into the third node N3 and the fourth node N4, respectively. Because a voltage value of a signal of the first node N1 and a voltage value of a signal of the third node N3 are greater than a threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, at this time, the third transistor T3 is turned on, and a signal of the dynamic signal line Var is written into the second node N2, to initialize (reset) signals of the second node N2, the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 and clear original charges in the second node N2, the third node N3 and the fourth node N4. Signals of the first scan signal line G1 and the first light emitting signal line EM1 are low-level signals, and the first transistor T1 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned off. The light emitting device L does not emit light in this stage.
[0236] In a second stage P12, that is, a threshold compensation stage, signals of the third reset signal line Reset3, the second scan signal line G2 and the first light emitting signal line EM1 are high-level signals, and signals of the first scan signal line G1 and the second light emitting signal line EM2 are low-level signals. A signal of the third reset signal line Reset3 is a high-level signal, the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, a signal of the dynamic signal line Var is continuously written to the fourth node N4, to continuously initialize (reset) a signal of the fourth node N4. A signal of the second scan signal line G2 is a high-level signal, the second transistor T2 is turned on, a signal of the reference signal line REF is continuously provided to the first node N1, a signal of the first light emitting signal line EM1 is a high-level signal, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, and a signal of the first power supply line VDD is written to the third node N3 through the turned-on fourth transistor T4, the second node N2 and the turned-on third transistor T3 until a voltage V3 of a signal of the third node N3 meets V3=Vref-Vth, wherein Vref is a voltage value of a signal of the reference signal line REF, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, at this time, the first capacitor C1 stores a voltage difference Vth between signals of the first node N1 and the third node N3. Signals of the first scan signal line G1 and the second light emitting signal line EM2 are low-level signals, and the first transistor T1 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned off. The light emitting device L does not emit light in this stage.
[0237] In a third stage P13, that is, a data writing stage, a signal of the third reset signal line Reset is a high-level signal, signals of the second scan signal line G2, the first light emitting signal line EM1, and the second light emitting signal line EM2 are low-level signals, the signal of the first scan signal line G1 is a high-level signal for part of a time period, and the data signal line Data outputs a data voltage. A signal of the third reset signal line Reset3 is a high-level signal, the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, a signal of the dynamic signal line Var is continuously written to the fourth node N4, to continuously initialize (reset) a signal of the fourth node N4. A signal of the first scan signal line G1 is a high-level signal, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the data voltage of the data signal line Data is written to the first node N1. At this time, the voltage value V1 of the first node N1 meets V1=Vdata, and Vdata is the data voltage of the data signal line. The voltage value of the signal of the first node N1 in the present stage undergoes a jump compared to the voltage value in the previous stage. Therefore, a signal of the third node N3 also undergoes a jump under an action of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2. At this time, the voltage value V3 of the signal of the third node N3 meets V3=Vref-Vth+(Vdata-Vref)*C 1 / (C 1 +C 2 ), where C 1 is the capacitance value of the first capacitor, C 2 is the capacitance value of the second capacitor. Signals of the second scan signal line G2, the first light emitting signal line EM1, and the second light emitting signal line EM2 are low-level signals, and the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the fifth transistor T5 are turned off. The light emitting device L does not emit light in this stage.
[0238] In a fourth stage P14, that is, a light emitting stage, signals of the first light emitting signal line EM1 and the second light emitting signal line EM2 are high-level signals, and signals of the third reset signal line Reset3, the first scan signal line G1 and the second scan signal line G2 are low-level signals. Signals of the first light emitting signal line EM1 and the second light emitting signal line EM2 are high-level signals, the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned on, a power supply voltage output from the first power supply line VDD provides a driving voltage to a first electrode of the light emitting device L through the turned-on fourth transistor T4, third transistor T3 and fifth transistor T5 to drive the light emitting device L to emit light, signals of the third reset signal line Reset3, the first scan signal line G1 and the second scan signal line G2 are low-level signals, and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned off, and the light emitting device L emits light in this stage.
[0239] In a drive process of the pixel driving circuit, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (the driving transistor) is determined by a voltage difference between the control electrode (also the first node N1) and the second electrode (also the third node N3) of the third transistor T3. Because the voltage value V1 of the signal of the first node meets V1= Vdata-[Vref-Vth+(Vdata-Vref)*C 1 / (C 1 +C 2 )]+ Vinit and the voltage value V3 of the signal of the third node N3 meets V3=Vinit, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is as follows. I = K * Vgs − Vth 2 = K * Vdata − Vref − Vth + Vdata − Vref * C 1 / C 1 + C 2 − Vth 2 = K * C 2 / C 1 + C 2 * Vdata − Vref 2
[0240] Herein, I is a driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, that is, a driving current driving the light emitting device L, K is a constant, and Vgs is a voltage difference between the control electrode and the second electrode of the third transistor T3.
[0241] It may be seen from a derivation result of the above current formula that in the light emitting stage, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is not affected by the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3.

Signals of the first light emitting signal line EM1 and the second light emitting signal line EM2 are low-level signals, the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned on, a power supply voltage output from the first power supply line VDD provides a driving voltage to a first electrode of the light emitting device L through the turned-on fourth transistor T4, third transistor T3 and fifth transistor T5, to drive the light emitting device L to emit light, signals of the first reset signal line Reset1, the third reset signal line Reset3, the first scan signal line G1 and the second scan signal line G2 are low-level signals, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the sixth transistor T6 and the ninth transistor T9 are turned off, and the light emitting device L emits light in this stage.
[0335] In a drive process of the pixel driving circuit, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (the driving transistor) is determined by a voltage difference between the control electrode (also the first node N1) and the second electrode (also the third node N3) of the third transistor T3. Because the voltage value V1 of the signal of the first node meets V1= Vdata-[Vref-Vth+(Vdata-Vref)*C 1 / (C 1 +C 2 )]+ Vinit and the voltage value V3 of the signal of the third node N3 meets V3=Vinit, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is as follows. I = K * Vgs − Vth 2 = K * Vdata − Vref − Vth + Vdata − Vref * C 1 / C 1 + C 2 − Vth 2 = K * C 2 / C 1 + C 2 * Vdata − Vref 2
[0336] Herein, I is a driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, that is, a driving current driving the light emitting device L, K is a constant, and Vgs is a voltage difference between the control electrode and the second electrode of the third transistor T3.
[0337] It may be seen from a derivation result of the above current formula that in the light emitting stage, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is not affected by the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. Therefore, an influence of the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 on the driving current is eliminated, which may ensure uniformity of display brightness of a display product, and improve an overall display effect of the display product.

The voltage value of the signal of the first node N1 in the present stage undergoes a jump compared to the voltage value in the previous stage. Therefore, a signal of the third node N3 also undergoes a jump under an action of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2. At this time, the voltage value V3 of the signal of the third node N3 meets V3=Vref-Vth+(Vdata-Vref)*C 1 / (C 1 +C 2 ), where C 1 is the capacitance value of the first capacitor, C 2 is the capacitance value of the second capacitor.
