[0461] Since each data line has a parasitic capacitor, each light-emitting time controls the data voltage to be charged to the parasitic capacitor of each data line;
[0462] In the sixth data writing period t32, G1 provides a low voltage signal, and M6 and M7 in the pixel circuit are turned on to perform charging and threshold voltage compensation, thereby realizing display data voltage writing;
[0463] In the light-emitting stage FT, E1 provides a low voltage signal, and M5 is turned on to control the connection between the power voltage line VDD and the source of the driving transistor M0;
[0464] When performing medium and high grayscale display, M2 in the pixel circuit is turned on to control the connection between the first light-emitting control line E1 and the first control node N1;
[0465] When low grayscale display is performed, M4 in the pixel circuit is turned on to control the second light-emitting control line Hf to be connected to the first control node N1.
[0466] When the display substrate in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure is in operation, it can also control RA to provide a high voltage signal and RB to provide a low voltage signal in the second data writing time period, and control RA to provide a low voltage signal and RB to provide a high voltage signal in the fourth data writing time period.
[0467] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the turn-on time of each multiplexed control end can be reduced, and the storage of the data voltage for controlling the luminous time on the data line can be completed quickly, so as to increase the turn-on time of RA, the turn-on time of RB and the turn-on time of G1, so as to provide more sufficient time for writing the data voltage inside the pixel circuit, charging and threshold voltage compensation.
[0468] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, through GOA (Gate On Array, array substrate row drive) timing control, all low-level stages of the second light-emitting control line Hf are in the light-emitting stage, thereby preventing the potential of the second light-emitting control signal from being pulled down by high frequency to cause coupling influence on the writing of the display data voltage and disturb the gate voltage of the driving transistor, thereby reducing one transistor for preventing the Hf coupling influence compared with the related pixel circuit.
[0469] In a specific implementation, due to the existence of parasitic capacitance on the data lines, the data lines may be coupled with each other and change the voltage.
[0470] As shown in FIG. 23, when performing medium and high grayscale display, if in the second data writing period, RB provides a low voltage signal and RA provides a high voltage signal, in the fourth data writing stage, RA provides a low voltage signal and RB provides a high voltage signal;
[0471] In the first data writing period t11, the data voltage Vdata connected to DL1 may be 18V;
[0472] In the third data writing period t21, the data voltage Vdata connected to DL1 may be 0V;
[0473] In the fifth data writing period t31, the data voltage Vdata connected to DL1 may be 13V;
[0474] When MX1 is turned on, DL1 writes the data voltage, and DL1 maintains the potential at the previous moment after MX1 is turned off, such as the ideal voltage VDL10 of DL1 in Figure 23. The 18V voltage signal and the 0V voltage signal are signals that control the access of the first light-emitting control line and the second light-emitting control line, respectively, and have little effect on the grayscale display. When the jump from 0V to 13V is the turn-on moment of G1, the voltage on DL1 will jump with the voltage on DL4, which will affect the data voltage writing and cause the write voltage to be a higher potential, thereby causing the pixels electrically connected to DL1 to display darker than expected.
[0475] In FIG. 23, VDL40 is the ideal voltage on DL4, and VDL1 is the actual voltage on DL1.
[0476] As shown in FIG. 24, when performing medium and high grayscale display, if in the second data writing period t12, RA provides a low voltage signal and RB provides a high voltage signal, in the fourth data writing period t22, RB provides a low voltage signal and RA provides a high voltage signal;
[0477] In the first data writing period t11, the data voltage Vdata connected to DL1 may be 0V;
[0478] In the third data writing period t21, the data voltage Vdata connected to DL1 may be 18V;
[0479] In the fifth data writing period t31, the data voltage Vdata connected to DL1 may be 13V;
[0480] Through the above settings, when G1 is turned on, the data voltage on DL1 jumps from 18V to 13V, which reduces the jump amplitude of the data voltage and improves the problem of pixel display differences.
[0481] As shown in FIG. 25, when at least one embodiment of the display panel shown in FIG. 21 of the present disclosure is in operation, a display cycle includes a first writing time period, a second writing time period, a third writing time period and a light-emitting stage FT which are successively set;

[0487] In the fourth data writing period t22, RB provides a low voltage signal, RA and G1 provide a high voltage signal, and M3 in the pixel circuit is turned on to write the light-emitting time control data voltage on each data line into the third control node N3;
[0488] In the fifth data writing period t31, MX1, MX2, MX3, MX4, MX5 and MX6 sequentially output low voltage signals, and the transistors controlled by MX1, MX2, MX3, MX4, MX5 and MX6 are sequentially turned on to write corresponding display data voltages;
[0489] In the sixth data writing period t32, G1 provides a low voltage signal, RA and RB provide a high voltage signal, and M6 and M7 in the pixel circuit are turned on to perform charging and threshold voltage compensation to achieve display data voltage writing;
[0490] In the light-emitting stage FT, EM outputs a low voltage signal;
[0491] During a part of the time period included in the light-emitting phase FT, Hf outputs a low voltage signal;
[0492] When performing a medium to high grayscale display, in the light-emitting stage FT, the driving transistor M0 in the pixel circuit drives the micro light-emitting diode ML to emit light;
[0493] When low grayscale display is performed, in the light-emitting stage FT, when Hf provides a low voltage signal, the driving transistor M0 in the pixel circuit drives the micro light-emitting diode ML to emit light.
[0494] In FIG. 25, the light-emitting control line labeled E1_N is the next row adjacent to E1.
[0495] In the related art, current + time control is usually configured to emit light for a short time at a fixed current to achieve low grayscale display. However, after emitting light for a short time within a frame display time, the LED (light-emitting diode) enters a black state, and the human eye can clearly feel the flicker, causing discomfort to the viewer. Based on this, at least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a pixel circuit that controls the light emission time at high frequency, disperses the short light emission time into a frame time, and reduces flicker.
[0496] In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, since the light control signal provided by E1 continues to be a low voltage signal for a relatively long time, the light control signal provided by Hf is a high-frequency pulse signal during the entire time that E1 continues to be a low voltage signal.
