The light-emitting unit OLED can be connected between the second pole of the sixth transistor T6 and the second power supply terminal VSS. The first electrode of the light-emitting unit may be the anode of the light-emitting unit, and the second electrode of the light-emitting unit may be the cathode of the light-emitting unit.Here, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 may be N-type transistors. For example, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 may be N-type metal oxide transistors. N-type transistors have a small leakage current, and it is possible to avoid the node N leaking through the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 during the light-emitting stage. At the same time, the driving transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, and the seventh transistor T7 may be P-type transistors. For example, the driving transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, and the seventh transistor T7 may be P-type low-temperature polycrystalline silicon transistors.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 2, it is a timing chart of each node in the driving method of the pixel driving circuit of FIG. 1. Here, G1 indicates the timing of the first gate driving signal terminal G1, G2 indicates the timing of the second gate driving signal terminal G2, Re1 indicates the timing of the first reset signal line Re1, Re2 indicates the timing of the second reset signal line Re2, EM represents the timing of the enable signal line EM, and Da indicates the timing of the data signal terminal Da. The driving method of this pixel driving circuit can include a first reset stage t1, a data writing stage t2, a second reset stage t3, and a light emitting stage t4. First reset stage t1: The first reset signal line Re1 outputs a high-level signal, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the first initial signal line Vinit1 inputs an initial signal to the node N. Data writing stage t2: The first gate driving signal terminal G1 outputs a high-level signal, the second gate driving signal terminal G2 outputs a low-level signal, the fourth transistor T4 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, and at the same time the data signal terminal Da outputs a data signal to write the compensation voltage Vdata + Vth to the node N.

The output current I of the driving transistor in the pixel driving circuit of the present disclosure is I = (μWCox / 2L)(Vdata + Vth - Vdd - Vth) 2 That is. This pixel driving circuit can avoid the influence of the threshold value of the driving transistor on its output current.
[0045] In this embodiment, the second electrode of the light-emitting unit OLED in the display panel shares a common electrode layer. However, since this common electrode layer has a large self-resistance, the voltage of the second electrode of the light-emitting cell varies depending on the position of the display panel, and finally the display of the display panel becomes uneven.
[0046] Based on this, in this embodiment, first, as shown in FIG. 3, a display panel is provided that schematically shows the structure of the display panel of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, this display panel includes a display area AA, an electrode ring VSS0, a first power line VSS1, a second power line VSS2, and a base substrate. The electrode ring VSS0 is located in the edge area around the display area AA. The orthographic projection of the first power line VSS1 onto the base substrate extends along the first direction X, and the orthographic projection of the second power line VSS2 onto the base substrate extends along the second direction. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect. For example, the first direction X is the row direction and the second direction Y is the column direction. The first power line VSS1 and the second power line VSS2 can be located in different conductive layers. The first power line VSS1 and the second power line VSS2 whose orthographic projections onto the base substrate intersect can be connected via vias H to form a mesh structure. Here, the plurality of first power lines VSS1 may be respectively located in different conductive layers in the display panel, and the plurality of second power lines VSS2 may be respectively located in different conductive layers in the display panel. The first power line VSS1 can be connected to the electrode ring VSS0, the second power line VSS2 can be connected to the electrode ring VSS0, and the electrode ring VSS0 can be connected to the common electrode layer. Therefore, the first power line VSS1 and the second power line VSS2 that form the mesh structure can reduce the voltage difference between different positions on the common electrode layer. In addition, when the first power line VSS1 and the electrode ring VSS0 are located in different conductive layers, the first power line VSS1 and the electrode ring VSS0 can be connected via vias. When the first power line VSS1 and the electrode ring VSS0 are located in the same conductive layer, the first power line VSS1 and the electrode ring VSS0 can be directly connected. Similarly, when the second power line VSS2 and the electrode ring VSS0 are located in different conductive layers, the second power line VSS2 and the electrode ring VSS0 can be connected via vias. When the second power line VSS2 and the electrode ring VSS0 are located in the same conductive layer, the second power line VSS2 and the electrode ring VSS0 can be directly connected.

Here, the orthographic projection of the light-shielding portion 61 onto the base substrate can cover the orthographic projection of the third active portion 73 onto the base substrate, and the light-shielding portion 61 can reduce the influence on the driving characteristics of the driving transistor T3 by light irradiation. The first active layer can be formed of a polycrystalline silicon material, and accordingly, the driving transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, and the seventh transistor T7 may be P-type low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors.
[0051] As shown in FIGS. 4, 7, and 14, the first conductive layer may include a second conductive portion 12, a second gate line G2, an enable signal line EM, and a second reset signal line Re2.

With this configuration, the integration degree of the pixel driving circuit can be increased, and the layout area of the pixel driving circuit can be reduced.The light-shielding layer may also be connected to a stable voltage source. For example, it is connected to the first power supply terminal, the first initial signal line, and the second initial signal line in FIG. 1. The light-shielding portion 61 can exert a constant voltage effect on the second conductive portion 12, thereby reducing voltage fluctuations at the gate of the driving transistor T3 during the light-emitting stage, and the light-shielding layer can also shield interference from other signals to the driving transistor T3. Also, this display panel can use the first conductive layer as a mask to conductify the first active layer. That is, the region of the first active layer covered by the first conductive layer can form the channel region of the transistor, and the region of the first active layer not covered by the first conductive layer can form a conductor structure. Also, the light-shielding layer does not need to be connected to a voltage, that is, the light-shielding layer is in a floating state.
[0052] As shown in FIGS. 4, 8, and 15, the second conductive layer can include the first initial signal line Vinit1, the third reset signal line 2Re1, the third gate line 2G1, and a plurality of first conductive portions 21.

The fifth bridge portion 45 can be connected to the first four active portion 814 and the first initial signal line Vinit1 via vias respectively in order to be connected to the first electrode of the first transistor and the first initial signal line. Note that in the same repeating unit, two adjacent pixel driving circuits can share the same fifth bridge portion 45.

[0056] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 12, the fifth conductive layer may include a plurality of third power lines VDD, a plurality of data lines Da, a second power line VSS2, and an eighth bridge portion 58. Here, the orthographic projection of the third power line VDD onto the base substrate, the orthographic projection of the data line Da onto the base substrate, and the orthographic projection of the second power line VSS2 onto the base substrate can all extend along the second direction Y. The third power line VDD can be used to provide the first power terminal in FIG. 1, the data line Da can be used to provide the data signal terminal in FIG. 1, and the second power line VSS2 can be used to provide the second power terminal in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 4, for each column of pixel driving circuits, a third power line VDD may be correspondingly provided to be connected to the first pole of the fifth transistor and the first power terminal, and the third power line VDD may be connected to the first bridge portion 41 via a via. The data line Da can be connected to the sixth bridge portion 46 via a via and then connected to the first pole of the fourth transistor and the data signal terminal. The eighth bridge portion 58 can be connected to the second bridge portion 42 via a via to be connected to the second pole of the seventh transistor. As shown in FIG. 12, the third power line VDD includes a first extending portion VDD1, a second extending portion VDD2 connected between the first extending portion VDD1 and the third extending portion VDD3, and the third extending portion VDD3. The size of the orthographic projection of the second extending portion VDD2 onto the base substrate in the first direction X is larger than the size of the orthographic projection of the first extending portion VDD1 onto the base substrate in the first direction, and the size of the orthographic projection of the second extending portion VDD2 onto the base substrate in the first direction X is larger than the size of the orthographic projection of the third extending portion VDD3 onto the base substrate in the first direction X. The orthographic projection of the second extending portion VDD2 onto the base substrate can cover the orthographic projection of the first active portion 81 onto the base substrate and the orthographic projection of the second active portion 82 onto the base substrate. The second extending portion VDD2 can reduce the influence on the characteristics of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 by light irradiation.Also, the orthographic projection of the third power line VDD onto the base substrate can cover the orthographic projection of the fourth bridge portion 44 onto the base substrate. The third power line VDD can be used to shield the fourth bridge portion 44 from noise interference by other signals, and can enhance the stability of the gate voltage of the driving transistor T3. Also, in the same repeating unit, the second extending portions VDD2 in two adjacent pixel driving circuits can be connected to each other. Therefore, the third power line VDD and the first conductive portion 21 can form a mesh structure, and the power lines of this mesh structure can reduce the voltage drop of the power signal.

Here, the pixel driving circuits in each column can be correspondingly provided with the second power line VSS2, the pixel driving circuits in each row can be correspondingly provided with the first power line VSS1, and each pixel driving circuit can be correspondingly provided with the seventh bridge portion 47. Therefore, the first power line VSS1 and the second power line VSS2 can be connected through vias to form a mesh structure. The first power line VSS1 and the second power line VSS2 forming the mesh structure can reduce the voltage difference between different positions on the common electrode layer. In other exemplary embodiments, the pixel driving circuits in a plurality of columns can be correspondingly provided with the second power line VSS2, the pixel driving circuits in a plurality of rows can be correspondingly provided with the first power line VSS1, and the first power line VSS1 and the second power line VSS2 whose orthographic projections onto the base substrate intersect can be connected through vias.

As shown in FIG. 36, the third power line VDD includes a first extending portion VDD1, a second extending portion VDD2 connected between the first extending portion VDD1 and the third extending portion VDD3, and the third extending portion VDD3. The size of the orthographic projection of the second extending portion VDD2 onto the base substrate in the row direction X is larger than the size of the orthographic projection of the first extending portion VDD1 onto the base substrate in the row direction X, and the size of the orthographic projection of the second extending portion VDD2 onto the base substrate in the row direction X is larger than the size of the orthographic projection of the third extending portion VDD2 onto the base substrate in the row direction X. The orthographic projection of the second extending portion VDD2 onto the base substrate can cover the orthographic projection of the first active portion 81 onto the base substrate and the orthographic projection of the second active portion 82 onto the base substrate, and the second extending portion VDD2 can reduce the influence of characteristics on the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 due to light irradiation.Also, the orthographic projection of the third power line VDD onto the base substrate can cover the orthographic projection of the fourth bridge portion 44 onto the base substrate. The third power line VDD can be used to shield the fourth bridge portion 44 from noise interference by other signals, and can enhance the stability of the gate voltage of the driving transistor T3. Also, in the same pixel unit group, the second extending portions VDD2 in two adjacent pixel driving circuits can be connected to each other. Therefore, the third power line VDD and the first conductive portion 21 can form a mesh structure, and the power lines of this mesh structure reduce the voltage drop of the power signal.
[0089] As shown in FIGS. 28 and 36, in the virtual pixel column, the second extending portion VDD2 in the fourth pixel unit group Pc4 and the second extending portion VDD2 in the second pixel unit group Pc2 are disconnected. The data line Da in the virtual pixel column is connected to the second extending portion VDD2 in the fourth pixel unit group Pc4, and the second extending portion VDD2 in the fourth pixel unit group Pc4 is connected to the first bridge portion 41 corresponding to the fourth pixel unit group Pc4 via a via. Also, as shown in FIG. 28, the first bridge portion 41 in the third pixel unit group Pc3 is not connected to the third power line VDD corresponding to the third pixel unit group Pc3.
[0090] As shown in FIG. 28, the data line Da in the virtual pixel column can form the second power supply terminal described above, and the second gate line G2 in the virtual pixel row can form the first power supply terminal described above. The data line Da in the virtual pixel column and the second gate line G2 in the virtual pixel row form a mesh structure. Since this mesh structure is connected to the common electrode layer, this mesh structure can reduce the voltage difference at different positions on the common electrode layer. In this embodiment, the first bridge portion 41 connected in the row direction X among the virtual pixel rows may form the first power supply terminal described above. The first bridge portion 41 connected in the row direction X among the virtual pixel rows is connected in parallel with the second gate line G2, can reduce the self-resistance of the first power supply line, and can further reduce the voltage difference at different positions on the common electrode layer. Also, as shown in FIGS. 28, 31, and 38, in the virtual pixel row, in the pixel unit groups adjacent in the row direction, the adjacent second conductive portions 12 are connected. With this configuration, the self-resistance of the first power supply line can also be further reduced.
[0091] In other exemplary embodiments, the second extension VDD2 in the fourth pixel unit group Pc4 and the second extension VDD2 in the second pixel unit group Pc2 may not be cut, that is, the second extension VDD2 in the fourth pixel unit group Pc4 and the second extension VDD2 in the second pixel unit group Pc2 may be connected. Therefore, the data line Da in the virtual pixel column is not connected to the second extension VDD2 in the fourth pixel unit group Pc4, and the data line Da in the virtual pixel column can be connected to the first bridge portion in the virtual pixel row in another way. For example, the data line Da in the virtual pixel column can be directly connected to the first bridge portion in the virtual pixel row via a via.
[0092] In other exemplary embodiments, the fourth bridge portion 44 of the fourth pixel unit group Pc4 may not be connected to the second gate line of the virtual pixel row. Therefore, the first power supply terminal described above can be formed using only the first bridge portion connected in the row direction X among the virtual pixel rows. Further, in other embodiments, the fourth bridge portion 44 of the fourth pixel unit group Pc4 may be connected to the enable signal line EM of the virtual pixel row via a via, so that the enable signal line of the virtual pixel row forms the above-described first power supply terminal. Therefore, the first pixel power group can include the seventh active portion, and the first pixel unit group does not need to share the seventh active portion of the third pixel unit group.
[0093] In other exemplary embodiments, the above-described first power supply terminal can also be formed using other signal lines extending along the first direction X of the virtual pixel row. The second power supply terminal may be formed using other signal lines extending along the second direction Y in the virtual pixel column.
