[0026] To make the purpose, technical solutions and effects of this application clearer and more specific, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0027] Currently, drivers for monochrome array displays of micro-LEDs typically utilize digital subfield scanning for monochrome display. However, with increasing demands for display panel resolution, refresh rate, and grayscale, and the need for 256 grayscale levels for each RGB subpixel to achieve full-color RGB display, existing clock frequencies are no longer sufficient. Therefore, a display backplane is urgently needed to address these technical issues.
[0028] 1 to 11 , the present application provides a display backplane 100 , which includes a plurality of sub-pixel units 10 and a mirror current source module 200 .
[0029] In this embodiment, each sub-pixel unit 10 includes a pixel driving circuit 110 and a light-emitting device LED. The pixel driving circuit 110 includes a signal receiving module 111, a signal storage module 112, a switch module 113 and an adjustment module 114. The signal receiving module 111 receives a data signal from a data signal source Data and transmits the data signal to the signal storage module 112 and the switch module 113. The signal storage module 112 is used to store the data signal, and the switch module 113 is used to transmit the adjustment current from the adjustment module 114 to the light-emitting device LED.
[0030] In this embodiment, the mirror current source module 200 is electrically connected to the regulating modules 114 in the plurality of pixel driving circuits 110 . The mirror current source module 200 is used to regulate the regulating current input to the regulating module 114 .
[0031] In this embodiment, the multiple sub-pixel units 10 include multiple first sub-pixel units 101 that emit a first color, multiple second sub-pixel units 102 that emit a second color, and multiple third sub-pixel units 103 that emit a third color. The light-emitting colors of the first sub-pixel unit 101, the second sub-pixel unit 102, and the third sub-pixel unit 103 are different. For example, the first sub-pixel unit 101 is a red sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel unit 102 is a green sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel unit 103 is a blue sub-pixel. The adjustment currents input by the mirror current source module 200 to the adjustment module 114 in the first sub-pixel unit 101, the second sub-pixel unit 102, and the third sub-pixel unit 103 are different.
[0032] It should be noted that the display backplane 100 may include a display area and a non-display area. The display area is provided with multiple scan lines and multiple data lines, which intersect to form multiple sub-pixel units 10. The pixel driving circuit 110 within each sub-pixel unit 10 is connected to the corresponding data lines and scan lines. A mirror current source module 200 is provided in the non-display area to adjust the operating current of the light-emitting device LED by adjusting the current input to the adjustment module 114, thereby adjusting the luminous flux of the light-emitting device LEDs of different colors.
[0033] It should be noted that the display backplane 100 can be used as a direct display device. For example, the light-emitting device LED of the display backplane 100 can be Mini LED or Micro LED, etc., or the display backplane 100 can also be used as a backlight source for a liquid crystal display panel. The following is an example of the display backplane 100 being a direct display device.
[0034] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 1, the display backplane 100 may also include a timing controller 300, a data processor 400, a row scanning circuit 500 and a column scanning circuit 600. The row scanning circuit 500 is connected to the scanning line in the display backplane 100, and the column scanning circuit 600 is connected to the data line in the display backplane 100; the timing controller 300 transmits a scanning signal to the row scanning circuit 500, and the timing controller 300 controls the data processor 400 to transmit a data signal to the column scanning circuit 600.
[0035] It should be noted that the present application can realize grayscale display by using subfield scanning, that is, the scanning time of each frame of the display screen is divided into subfields of different sizes, and each subfield is controlled to emit light separately. The total light-emitting time of each subfield is combined to achieve the control of the total light-emitting time in this frame, thereby controlling the lighting time of each display unit in the display panel, so as to achieve the effect of each display unit having different grayscales.
[0036] It should be noted that each sub-pixel unit 10 includes multiple frames of display data, each frame of display data includes multiple sub-frames, and each sub-frame includes a data writing phase t1 and a light-emitting phase t2. The light-emitting phase t2 within different sub-frames has different light-emitting durations. The weighting value of each sub-frame is different, that is, the duration of the light-emitting phase t2 within each sub-frame is different, and the lighting duration of the light-emitting device LED is different. The weighting value can be set in a standard binary weighting increment or a non-standard binary weighting increment.
[0037] In the structure of FIG2 , a frame of 1H display data includes 8 subframes, namely subframe F1, subframe F2, subframe F3, subframe F4, subframe F5, subframe F6, subframe F7 and subframe F8. The standard binary weight value increment method is adopted, and the weight value ratio of each subframe is 1(2 0 ):2(2 1 ):4(2 2 ):8(2 3 ):16(2 4 ):32(2 5 ):64(2 6 ):128(2 7 ), the display data of a frame of 1H is superimposed with the grayscale of each sub-frame, thereby realizing 255 grayscale display. In order to improve the luminance of the L255 grayscale of the sub-pixel unit 10, when the scanning signal scans each row of sub-pixel units 10, the sub-pixel units 10 in each row emit light after the addressing scanning time. Each sub-pixel unit 10 can continue to emit light during the driving time of the entire frame display image.
[0038] That is, when the data signal source Data received by the sub-pixel unit 10 in the writing stage t1 is a high level, the sub-pixel unit 10 continues to emit light in the corresponding light-emitting stage t2; when the data signal source Data received by the sub-pixel unit 10 in the writing stage t1 is a low level, the sub-pixel unit 10 does not emit light in the corresponding light-emitting stage t2; or, when the data signal source Data received by the sub-pixel unit 10 in the writing stage t1 is a low level, the sub-pixel unit 10 continues to emit light in the corresponding light-emitting stage t2; when the data signal source Data received by the sub-pixel unit 10 in the writing stage t1 is a high level, the sub-pixel unit 10 does not emit light in the corresponding light-emitting stage t2.
[0039] For example, to achieve 256-level grayscale adjustment for a single green Micro-LED array with a display frequency of 60Hz and a resolution of 1280x1024, 8 sub-fields (denoted as sub-fields 1 to 8) constitute a frame. The t2 ratio of the 8 sub-fields' light-emitting phases is set to 1:2:4:8:16:32:64:128, and the data input to the 8 sub-fields is denoted as d1 to d8. The grayscale calculation method can be:
[0040] Grayscale (Gray) = 1*d1+2*d2+4*d3+8*d4+16*d5+32*d6+64*d7+128*d8.
[0041] For example, when the Data input to the mth subfield is high, dm = 1; when the Data input to the mth subfield is low, dm = 0. When the Data input to all subfields is high, d1-d8 are all 1, and Gray = 256; when the Data input to all subfields is low, d1-d8 are all 0, and Gray = 0.
[0042] It's important to note that white light (W) in a full-color display is the sum of the three primary colors: red (R), green (G), and blue (B). Under fixed color coordinates, the ratio of their luminous flux is also fixed. For example, under color coordinates of W (0.300, 0.315), R (0.682, 0.317), G (0.250, 0.710), and B (0.138, 0.051), the RGB luminous flux ratio (ΦR:ΦG:ΦB) is 3.18:9.27:1.
[0043] However, the present application separately regulates the luminous flux and grayscale of RGB. The grayscale is achieved by sub-field scanning, while the luminous flux is regulated by setting a mirror current source module 200 in the display backplane 100 and connected to the adjustment module 114 in the pixel driving circuit 110 to adjust the current input to the light-emitting device LED in the pixel driving circuit 110 in different sub-pixel units 10, so that the sub-pixel units 10 of different colors drive the light-emitting device LED to emit light with a preset proportion of driving current, so that the light-emitting device LED of different colors has a preset luminous flux, so that the display backplane 100 can achieve full-color display at the existing clock frequency.
[0044] It should be noted that the arrangement of the multiple sub-pixel units 10 in this application is not specifically limited, and the following description will be made using standard RGB as an example.
[0045] The technical solution of this application is now described in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0046] 3 , the plurality of sub-pixel units 10 include a plurality of first sub-pixel units 101 emitting a first color, a plurality of second sub-pixel units 102 emitting a second color, and a plurality of third sub-pixel units 103 emitting a third color. The first sub-pixel units 101, the second sub-pixel units 102, and the third sub-pixel units 103 emit light of different colors. For example, the first sub-pixel unit 101 is a red sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel unit 102 is a green sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel unit 103 is a blue sub-pixel.
[0047] In this embodiment, the mirror current source module 200 may include a first mirror current unit 210, a second mirror current unit 220, and a third mirror current unit 230. The first mirror current unit 210 is electrically connected to the adjustment module 114 of at least one column of first sub-pixel units 101, the second mirror current unit 220 is electrically connected to the adjustment module 114 of at least one column of second sub-pixel units 102, and the third mirror current unit 230 is electrically connected to the adjustment module 114 of at least one column of third sub-pixel units 103.
[0048] In this embodiment, the display backplane 100 may further include a plurality of first transmission lines 241, a plurality of second transmission lines 242, and a plurality of third transmission lines 243, with one transmission line corresponding to one column of sub-pixel units 10. For example, in the structure of FIG3 , one first transmission line 241 is connected to the adjustment module 114 in one column of red sub-pixels, one second transmission line 242 is connected to the adjustment module 114 in one column of green sub-pixels, and one third transmission line 243 is connected to the adjustment module 114 in one column of blue sub-pixels. The number of columns of red sub-pixels is the same as the number of first transmission lines 241, the number of columns of green sub-pixels is the same as the number of second transmission lines 242, and the number of columns of blue sub-pixels is the same as the number of third transmission lines 243.
[0049] In this embodiment, multiple first transmission lines 241 are connected in parallel, multiple second transmission lines 242 are connected in parallel, multiple third transmission lines 243 are connected in parallel, the first mirror current unit 210 is connected to the multiple first transmission lines 241, the second mirror current unit 220 is connected to the multiple second transmission lines 242, and the third mirror current unit 230 is connected to the multiple third transmission lines 243; that is, the current of the regulation module 114 in all red sub-pixels in the display backplane 100 is regulated by the first mirror current unit 210, the current of the regulation module 114 in all green sub-pixels is regulated by the second mirror current unit 220, and the current of the regulation module 114 in all blue sub-pixels is regulated by the second mirror current unit 220.
[0050] In this embodiment, the first transmission line 241, the second transmission line 242, and the third transmission line 243 can be arranged in different layers. For example, multiple source and drain layers can be provided, and the multiple first transmission lines 241, the multiple second transmission lines 242, and the multiple third transmission lines 243 can be arranged in different source and drain layers, or arranged in the same source and drain layer, and connected by metal bridges at the locations where the transmission lines intersect.
[0051] In this embodiment, since the extension direction of the first transmission line 241, the second transmission line 242 and the third transmission line 243 can be the same as the extension direction of the data line and the constant voltage high level line, and the voltage transmitted in the transmission line and the constant voltage high level line is a constant voltage, the transmission line and the constant voltage high level line can be set on both sides of the data line, so that the coupling capacitance generated by the data line and the transmission line and constant voltage high level line on both sides is offset.
[0052] In the display backplane 100 of the present application, the first end of the signal receiving module 111 is connected to the scanning signal source Gate, the second end of the signal receiving module 111 is connected to the data signal source Data, the third end of the signal receiving module 111, the first end of the signal storage module 112, and the first end of the switch module 113 are connected to the first node Q, the second end of the switch module 113 is connected to the adjustment module 114, the third end of the switch module 113 is connected to the light-emitting device LED, and the second end of the signal storage module 112 and the adjustment module 114 are connected to the constant voltage high level source VDD.
[0053] 4 , the switch module 113 may include a first transistor T1 , the signal receiving module 111 may include a second transistor T2 , the regulating module 114 may include a third transistor T3 , and the signal storage module 112 may include a storage capacitor Cst.
[0054] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4, the gate of the second transistor T2 is connected to the scan signal source, the source of the second transistor T2 is connected to the data signal source Data, the drain of the second transistor T2 is connected to the first plate of the storage capacitor Cst and the gate of the first transistor T1, the source of the first transistor T1 is connected to the drain of the third transistor T3, the drain of the first transistor T1 is connected to the anode of the light-emitting device LED, the source of the third transistor T3 is connected to the constant voltage high-level source VDD and the second plate of the storage capacitor Cst, and the gate of the third transistor T3 is connected to the mirror current source module 200.
[0055] In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 4 , the current mirror unit in the current mirror module 200 includes a current source 240, a fourth transistor T4, a fifth transistor T5, and a sixth transistor T6. A first end of the current source 240 is connected to the digital-to-analog converter, a second end of the current source 240 is connected to the gates of the fifth and sixth transistors T5 and T6, and a source of the sixth transistor T6, a drain of the fifth and sixth transistors T5 and T6 is connected to a constant low-level voltage source VSS, a source of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the gates of the third and fourth transistors T3 and T4, and a drain of the fourth transistor T4, and a source of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to a constant high-level voltage source VDD.
[0056] In this embodiment, the analog-to-digital converter 700 is a current-mode DAC, and different current mirror units have different analog-to-digital converters 700. Different color sub-pixels are independently controlled by different current-mode DACs. For example, the first current mirror unit 210 is controlled by a current-mode DAC corresponding to the red sub-pixel, the second current mirror unit 220 is controlled by a current-mode DAC corresponding to the green sub-pixel, and the third current mirror unit 230 is controlled by a current-mode DAC corresponding to the blue sub-pixel.
[0057] In this embodiment, the pixel driving circuit 100 further includes a reference current line Iref, which is electrically connected to the gates of the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4. At the same time, a reference current line Iref is provided in each column of sub-pixel units 10, and the reference current line Iref transmits the reference current output from the mirror current unit to the gate terminal of the third transistor T3 in the sub-pixel units 10 in the same column.
[0058] In this embodiment, the first transistor T1 , the second transistor T2 , and the third transistor T3 are P-type transistors, the fourth transistor T4 is a P-type transistor, and the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are N-type transistors.
[0059] The working principle of the circuit diagram in FIG4 is described below.
[0060] In the first phase, the low level transmitted by the data signal source Data turns on the second transistor T2. The data signal source transmits a low level to the first node Q through the source terminal of the second transistor T2, so that the first transistor T1 is turned on and the storage capacitor Cst begins to charge. At the same time, the analog-to-digital converter 700 receives data from the register and transmits a current signal to the current source 240, so that the current source 240 outputs the initial reference current Iref0.
[0061] The current mirror unit in this embodiment can accurately replicate the required current based on the W / L ratio of the corresponding transistor. For example, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 constitute a first-stage current mirror circuit. Based on the characteristics of the current mirror circuit, the W / L parameters of the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are adjusted. Then, the current flowing through the fifth transistor T5 can be k1*Iref0, where k1=(W5 / L5) / (W6 / L6).
[0062] At the same time, the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 form a second-stage mirror current circuit, and the W / L parameters of the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are adjusted so that the current flowing through the third transistor T3 is k1*k2*Iref0, where k2=(W3 / L4) / (W4 / L4).
[0063] Therefore, since the first transistor T1 is turned on, the current flowing through the third transistor T3 is transferred to the light-emitting device LED through the source and drain of the first transistor T1, so that the light-emitting device LED emits light. The driving current of the light-emitting device LED is positively correlated with the initial reference current Iref0 output by the current source 240.
[0064] In the second stage, the storage capacitor Cst is discharged to maintain the potential of the first node Q, so that the first transistor T1 is turned on and the light emitting device LED continues to emit light.
[0065] In this embodiment, the present application can control the luminous brightness of the light-emitting device LED in the corresponding sub-pixel unit 10 by regulating the reference current output from the mirror current unit; and for sub-pixel units 10 of different colors, different reference currents can be set for sub-pixel units 10 of different colors. For example, under the color coordinate specifications of W (0.300, 0.315), R (0.682, 0.317), G (0.250, 0.710), and B (0.138, 0.051), the luminous flux ratio ΦR:ΦG of RGB is :ΦB=3.18:9.27:1, specifically referring to the structure in Figure 6, the horizontal width is the luminous duration of the sub-pixel unit 10 of different colors, that is, the displayed grayscale, and the vertical height is the luminous brightness of the sub-pixels of different colors, that is, the luminous flux of the sub-pixels of different colors, and different luminous fluxes correspond to different driving currents of the light-emitting device LED. The present application can adjust the different reference currents output from the mirror current unit to make the light-emitting devices of different colors have different luminous fluxes, so that the luminous flux of the RGB sub-pixel unit meets the white light ratio at a preset ratio.
[0066] In the display backplane 100 of the present application, the signal receiving module 111 includes a first receiving module and a second receiving module, the first end of the first receiving module and the second receiving module are connected to the scanning signal source Gate, the second end of the first receiving module is connected to the first data signal source Data1, the second end of the second receiving module is connected to the second data signal source Data2, the third end of the second receiving module, the first end of the signal storage module 112, and the first end of the switch module 113 are connected to the second node M, the third end of the first receiving module and the second end of the signal storage module 112 are connected to the third node N, the second end of the switch module 113 is connected to the adjustment module 114, the third end of the switch module 113 is connected to the light-emitting device LED, and the third end of the signal storage module 112 and the adjustment module 114 are connected to the constant voltage high level source VDD.

The gate of the first transistor T1 is turned on by the low level output by the second data signal source Data2. The current output by the third transistor T3 is transmitted to the light-emitting device LED through the first transistor T1.
[0073] At the same time, the high level output by the scanning signal source Scan turns on the first receiving transistor T1, the gate of the seventh transistor T7 is turned on by the high level output by the first data signal source Data1, the second node M between the seventh transistor T7 and the ninth transistor T9 is connected to the constant voltage low level source VSS, and the second node M maintains a low level; similarly, the gate of the tenth transistor T10 is turned on by the low level output by the second data signal source Data2, the third node N between the eighth transistor T8 and the tenth transistor T10 is connected to the constant voltage high level source VDD, and the third node N maintains a high level.
[0074] In the second stage, the signal storage module 112 is in the reading stage, and the low level of the second node M maintains the first transistor T1 on, so that the light emitting device LED continues to emit light.
[0075] Compared with the structure of Figure 4, this embodiment uses the seventh transistor T7, the eighth transistor T8, the ninth transistor T9 and the tenth transistor T10 to form two inverters. The data signals transmitted by the first data signal source Data1 and the second data signal source Data2 are output by the corresponding first receiving transistor T21 and the second receiving transistor T22 and stored in the two inverters to replace the storage capacitor Cst in Figure 4; since the capacitance in the storage capacitor Cst changes over time, the stored capacitance is unstable. In the second stage, the voltage data output by the storage capacitor Cst may differ from the voltage data input in the first stage, while the inverter in Figure 5 outputs a digital signal that does not change over time and is more stable than the storage capacitor.
[0076] Secondly, the working principle of the current mirror unit in FIG5 is the same as that of the current mirror source in FIG4 . For the specific working principle, please refer to the contents described in FIG4 .
[0077] It should be noted that the pixel driving circuits 110 in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are merely examples of the present application, and other pixel driving circuits 110 in the art are also applicable to the present application.
[0078] Please refer to Figure 6, which is a schematic diagram of the color RGB display of the display backplane 100 of the present application in one frame. The horizontal width is the luminous duration of the sub-pixel units 10 of different colors, that is, the displayed grayscale, and the vertical height is the luminous brightness of the sub-pixels of different colors, that is, the luminous flux.
[0079] In this embodiment, the luminous duration is achieved by sub-field scanning. For example, in the structure of Figure 7, the binary value corresponding to grayscale L200 is 00010011, the digital signal corresponding to grayscale L128 is 00000001, the binary value corresponding to grayscale L64 is 00000010, and the binary value corresponding to grayscale L0 is 00000000, and the binary value of each grayscale is converted from parallel to serial. For example, the binary value of the first sub-frame SF is 0000, the binary value of the second sub-frame SF is 0000, the binary value of the third sub-frame SF is 0000, the binary value of the fourth sub-frame SF is 0001, the binary value of the fifth sub-frame SF is 0000, the binary value of the sixth sub-frame SF is 0000, the binary value of the seventh sub-frame SF is 0101, and the binary value of the eighth sub-frame SF is 1001. Secondly, the data of the eight sub-fields in the above-mentioned one frame are written into the column scanning circuit 600 according to the sub-field scanning timing in Figure 8.
[0080] Please refer to Figure 9, which is a structural diagram of the column scanning circuit 600 in the display backplane 100 of the present application. The column scanning circuit 600 may include modules such as a shift register, a latch, and a level shifter. Among them, the shift register and latch modules are turned on under the action of the corresponding signal lines, and the shift register and latch modules convert the received binary data into serial-to-parallel. The level shifter converts the potential corresponding to the "0" or "1" state into two potentials for turning off the pixel circuit drive tube and turning on the pixel circuit drive tube, respectively, and outputs them from different output ports.
[0081] The present application separately regulates the luminous flux and grayscale of RGB. The grayscale is achieved by sub-field scanning, while the luminous flux is regulated by setting a mirror current source module 200 in the display backplane 100 and connected to the adjustment module 114 in the pixel driving circuit 110 to adjust the current input to the light-emitting device LED in the pixel driving circuit 110 in different sub-pixel units 10, so as to achieve different luminous fluxes of light-emitting devices LED of different colors, so that the display backplane 100 can achieve full-color display at the existing clock frequency.
[0082] As the resolution of the display device increases, the number of sub-pixel units 10 on the display backplane 100 increases, resulting in differences in the potential received by the gate of the third transistor T3 of the sub-pixel unit 10 that is farther away from the current source. For example, in the structure of Figure 3, the reference currents transmitted from the mirror current source module 200 to the sub-pixel units 10 in different columns are different, resulting in an uneven display problem.
[0083] 10 , the mirror current source module 200 may include a plurality of cascaded first mirror current units 210, a plurality of cascaded second mirror current units 220, and a plurality of cascaded third mirror current units 230. The cascaded plurality of first mirror current units 210 constitute a first mirror current group 211, the cascaded plurality of second mirror current units 220 constitute a second mirror current group 221, and the cascaded plurality of third mirror current units 230 constitute a third mirror current group 231. A first mirror current unit 210 is electrically connected to the regulating module 114 of a column of first sub-pixel units 101, a second mirror current unit 220 is electrically connected to the regulating module 114 of a column of second sub-pixel units 102, and a third mirror current unit 230 is electrically connected to the regulating module 114 of a column of third sub-pixel units 103.
[0084] Compared with the structure of FIG3 , this embodiment provides the same number of mirror current units as the number of transmission lines. One transmission line is connected to one mirror current unit. The number of first transmission lines 241 is the same as the number of first mirror current units 210, the number of second transmission lines 242 is the same as the number of second mirror current units 220, and the number of third transmission lines 243 is the same as the number of third mirror current units 230.
[0085] In this embodiment, any two first transmission lines 241 are separately provided, any two second transmission lines 242 are separately provided, and any two third transmission lines 243 are separately provided.
[0086] In this embodiment, due to the cascaded arrangement of multiple current mirror units, the current source 240 and the sixth transistor T6 in each current mirror unit are shared. The fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 in each current mirror unit replicate the reference current output by the current source 240 and transmit it to the corresponding third transistor T3. The cascaded current mirror units provide each column of sub-pixel units 10 with an independent reference current, alleviating the technical issue of varying potentials received by the gate of the third transistor T3 due to transmission distance. Furthermore, each column of sub-pixel units 10 has an independent reference current, enhancing the stability of the pixel driver circuit 110.
[0087] In the display backplane 100 of the present application, please refer to Figure 11, the multiple sub-pixel units 10 include a first sub-pixel group 121 and a second sub-pixel group 122 arranged along the column direction; the display backplane 100 includes a first mirror current source module 131 and a second mirror current source module 132 mirrored on both sides of the multiple sub-pixel units 10, the first mirror current source module 131 is electrically connected to the adjustment module 114 in the first sub-pixel group 121, and the second mirror current source module 132 is electrically connected to the adjustment module 114 in the second sub-pixel group 122.
[0088] Based on FIG10 , since the display backplane 100 has a large number of sub-pixel units 10 in the column direction, and due to the effect of metal line impedance, the potentials received by the gates of the third transistors T3 in the sub-pixels farther from the mirror current unit in the same column are different. In this embodiment, the sub-pixels in the display backplane 100 are divided into upper and lower partitions, the first mirror current source module 131 is connected to the gate of the third transistor T3 in the first sub-pixel group 121, and the second mirror current source module 132 is connected to the gate of the third transistor T3 in the second sub-pixel group 122. This reduces the number of sub-pixel units 10 connected to each mirror current unit. Compared with FIG10 , in FIG11 , the number of sub-pixel units 10 connected to one mirror current unit is reduced by one-half, that is, the length of the corresponding transmission line is reduced by one-half, thereby improving the technical problem of the difference in potentials received by the gate of the third transistor T3 due to transmission line impedance.
[0089] In this embodiment, the pixel driving circuit 110 and the mirror current source module 200 in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 may be the same as the pixel driving circuit 110 and the mirror current source module 200 in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 .
[0090] This application also proposes a display device comprising a terminal body and the aforementioned display backplane, wherein the terminal body and display panel are integrated into one body. For example, when the display backplane is a backlight source, the terminal body may be a liquid crystal display panel, and the display backplane and liquid crystal display panel are combined to form a display device. When the display backplane is a direct display device, the terminal body may be a device such as a circuit board attached to the display panel, and a cover plate covering the display panel. Display devices may include electronic devices such as mobile phones, televisions, and laptop computers.
