Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0091] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure should have the usual meanings understood by persons of ordinary skill in the field to which this disclosure belongs. The words "first", "second" and similar terms used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Words such as "include" or "comprise" mean that the elements or objects preceding the word include the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Words such as "coupled" or "connected" are not limited to physical or mechanical coupling, but may include electrical coupling, whether direct or indirect.

[0092] It should be noted that the sizes and shapes of the figures in the accompanying drawings do not reflect the actual scale and are only for the purpose of illustrating the present disclosure.

The display area may include a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array. Exemplarily, each pixel unit includes sub-pixels of the same color or sub-pixels of multiple different colors. For example, a pixel unit may include a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel, so that red, green, and blue can be mixed to achieve color display. Alternatively, a pixel unit may also include a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel, and a white sub-pixel, so that red, green, blue, and white can be mixed to achieve color display. Of course, in actual applications, the luminous color of the sub-pixels in the pixel unit can be designed and determined according to the actual application environment, and is not limited here.

Furthermore, the display area further includes a plurality of first emission control signal lines EML1.

[0098] For example, as shown in FIG1 , the pixel circuit includes a second light-emitting control circuit 130, which is coupled to the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 and the light-emitting device L. The second light-emitting control circuit 130 is configured to conduct electricity between the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 and the light-emitting device L in response to a second light-emitting control signal at a second light-emitting control signal terminal EM2. Furthermore, the display area further includes a plurality of second light-emitting control signal lines EML2, wherein the second light-emitting control signal terminal EM2 of the pixel circuit in a row of sub-pixels among the plurality of sub-pixels is coupled to one of the plurality of second light-emitting control signal lines EML2.

[0099] For example, as shown in FIG1 , the pixel circuit includes a first reset control circuit 140 coupled to the gate of the driving transistor M0.

[0111] Furthermore, as shown in FIG3a , the third reset control signal terminal RE3 and the second reset control signal terminal RE2 are connected to the same signal, and the third reset control signal line REL3 and the second reset control signal line REL2 are the same signal line. This can reduce the number of signal lines, eliminate the need for an additional drive control circuit to input a signal to the third reset control signal terminal RE3, and further reduce the bezel.

[0112] The signal timing diagram corresponding to the pixel circuit shown in FIG3a is shown in FIG3b, wherein em1 represents the first light-emitting control signal transmitted by the first light-emitting control signal line EML1 to the first light-emitting control signal terminal EM1, em2 represents the second light-emitting control signal transmitted by the second light-emitting control signal line EML2 to the second light-emitting control signal terminal EM2, re1 represents the first reset control signal transmitted by the first reset control signal line REL1 to the first reset control signal terminal RE1, re2 represents the second reset control signal transmitted by the second reset control signal line REL2 to the second reset control signal terminal RE2, and ga represents the scan signal transmitted by the scan signal line GAL to the scan signal terminal GA. Furthermore, inputting signals em1, em2, re1, re2, and ga into the pixel circuit respectively enables the first light-emitting control transistor M2, the second light-emitting control transistor M3, the first reset control transistor M4, the second reset control transistor M5, the third reset control transistor M6, and the data writing transistor M1 to cooperate with each other, causing the driving transistor M0 to generate a driving current, and inputting the driving current into the light-emitting device L, thereby driving the light-emitting device L to emit light.

[0113] Specifically, in the initialization stage T1, the first reset control transistor M4, the second reset control transistor M5 and the third reset control transistor M6 are all turned on, and can provide the signal of the reference signal terminal VREF to the gate of the driving transistor M0 to reset the gate of the driving transistor M0, provide the signal of the first initialization signal terminal VINT1 to the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 to initialize the second electrode of the driving transistor M0, and provide the signal of the second initialization signal terminal VINT2 to the anode of the light-emitting device L to initialize the anode of the light-emitting device L.

[0114] During the threshold compensation phase T2, the first light-emitting control transistor M2 and the first reset control transistor M4 are both turned on, providing the signal from the reference signal terminal VREF to the gate of the driving transistor M0, causing the potential of the gate of the driving transistor M0 to be equal to the potential Vref of the signal from the reference signal terminal VREF. Furthermore, the signal from the first power supply ELVDD is input to the first electrode of the driving transistor M0, turning the driving transistor M0 on, causing the potential of the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 to be Vref-Vth. Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor M0.

[0115] During the signal writing phase T3, the data writing transistor M1 is turned on, supplying the data voltage at the data signal terminal DA to the gate of the driving transistor M0, causing the gate potential of the driving transistor M0 to be equal to the data voltage Vda. Furthermore, through the action of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2, the potential of the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 changes to: Vref - Vth + c1 (Vda - Vref) / (c1 + c2). Here, c1 represents the capacitance of the first capacitor C1, and c2 represents the capacitance of the first capacitor C2.

[0116] During the light-emitting phase T4, the first light-emitting control transistor M2 and the second light-emitting control transistor M3 are turned on. The signal from the first power supply ELVDD is input to the first electrode of the driving transistor M0, which generates a driving current IL, causing the potential of the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 to change to Vel. Through the action of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2, the potential of the gate of the driving transistor M0 changes to Vth + Vel + c2 (Vda - Vref) / (c1 + c2). Therefore, IL = K [Vel + c2 (Vda - Vref) / (c1 + c2) - Velvdd]. 2 The driving current IL is input into the light emitting device to drive the light emitting device L to emit light.

[0117] Furthermore, as shown in FIG4a , the second capacitor C2, the second emission control transistor M3, and the third reset control transistor M6 may not be provided in the pixel circuit. This can reduce the area occupied by the pixel circuit and the number of signal lines, eliminate the need for an additional drive control circuit for inputting signals to the second emission control signal terminal EM2 and the third reset control signal terminal RE3, and further reduce the bezel.

[0118] The signal timing diagram corresponding to the pixel circuit shown in FIG4a is shown in FIG4b, wherein em1 represents the first light-emitting control signal transmitted by the first light-emitting control signal line EML1 to the first light-emitting control signal terminal EM1, re1 represents the first reset control signal transmitted by the first reset control signal line REL1 to the first reset control signal terminal RE1, re2 represents the second reset control signal transmitted by the second reset control signal line REL2 to the second reset control signal terminal RE2, and ga represents the scan signal transmitted by the scan signal line GAL to the scan signal terminal GA. Furthermore, inputting the signals em1, re1, re2, and ga into the pixel circuit respectively enables the first light-emitting control transistor M2, the first reset control transistor M4, the second reset control transistor M5, and the data writing transistor M1 to cooperate with each other, causing the driving transistor M0 to generate a driving current, and inputting the driving current into the light-emitting device L, thereby driving the light-emitting device L to emit light.

[0119] Specifically, in the initialization stage T1, the first reset control transistor M4 and the second reset control transistor M5 are both turned on, and can provide the signal of the reference signal terminal VREF to the gate of the driving transistor M0 to reset the gate of the driving transistor M0, provide the signal of the first initialization signal terminal VINT1 to the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 to initialize the second electrode of the driving transistor M0, and provide the signal of the first initialization signal terminal VINT1 to the anode of the light-emitting device L to initialize the anode of the light-emitting device L.

[0120] During the threshold compensation phase T2, the first light-emitting control transistor M2 and the first reset control transistor M4 are both turned on, providing the signal from the reference signal terminal VREF to the gate of the driving transistor M0, causing the potential of the gate of the driving transistor M0 to be equal to the potential Vref of the signal from the reference signal terminal VREF. Furthermore, the signal from the first power supply ELVDD is input to the first electrode of the driving transistor M0, turning the driving transistor M0 on, causing the potential of the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 to be Vref-Vth. Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor M0.

[0121] During the signal writing phase T3, the data writing transistor M1 is turned on, supplying the data voltage at the data signal terminal DA to the gate of the driving transistor M0, causing the gate potential of the driving transistor M0 to be equal to the data voltage Vda. Furthermore, through the action of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2, the potential of the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 changes to: Vref - Vth + c1 (Vda - Vref) / (c1 + coled). Here, c1 represents the capacitance of the first capacitor C1, and coled represents the parasitic capacitance of the light-emitting device L.

[0122] During the light-emitting phase T4, the first light-emitting control transistor M2 and the second light-emitting control transistor M3 are turned on. The signal of the first power supply ELVDD is input to the first electrode of the driving transistor M0, which generates a driving current IL, causing the potential of the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 to change to Vel. Through the action of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2, the potential of the gate of the driving transistor M0 changes to Vth + Vel + coled (Vda - Vref) / (c1 + coled). Therefore, IL = K [Vel + coled (Vda - Vref) / (c1 + coled) - Velvdd]. 2 The driving current IL is input into the light emitting device to drive the light emitting device L to emit light.

[0123] In a specific implementation, the transistor may be an N-type transistor. Furthermore, in a specific implementation, depending on the type of the transistor and the signal of its gate, the first electrode of the transistor may be used as its source and the second electrode as its drain; or vice versa, the first electrode of the transistor may be used as its drain and the second electrode as its source. This can be designed and determined according to the actual application environment and is not specifically distinguished here.

[0124] It should be noted that the transistors mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be thin film transistors (TFT) or metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOS), which are not limited here.

[0125] The above is merely an example to illustrate the specific structure of each circuit in the pixel circuit provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. In specific implementation, the specific structure of the above circuit is not limited to the above structure provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, and can also be other structures known to those skilled in the art. These are all within the scope of protection of the present disclosure and are not specifically limited here.

[0126] In practical applications, the aforementioned transistors require input of control signals via shift register units in a driver control circuit. The driver control circuit is typically located in a non-display area, also known as a border area. If the driver control circuit has a large number of shift register units, they occupy a larger area, which in turn results in a larger area occupied by the border area, hindering the narrow-border design of the display panel. Therefore, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display panel that addresses the issue of a driver control circuit occupying a large area, hindering the narrow-border design of the display panel.

[0127] The following describes a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, taking the pixel circuit shown in FIG3a as an example. The present disclosure provides some pixel circuits, for example, including a pixel control circuit configured to control a drive transistor M0 to generate a drive current that drives a light-emitting device L to emit light. Furthermore, a display area of ​​the display panel includes multiple control signal lines, wherein the pixel circuits in at least one row of sub-pixels among the multiple sub-pixels are coupled to one of the multiple control signal lines, and the control signal lines corresponding to at least two adjacent rows of sub-pixels are coupled to each other. Furthermore, a non-display area includes a drive control circuit, which includes multiple shift register units, wherein the mutually coupled control signal lines are coupled to one of the multiple shift register units, and the shift register unit is configured to transmit a signal to the pixel circuit via the control signal line. With this arrangement, by coupling the control signal lines corresponding to at least two adjacent rows of sub-pixels to each other and then to one shift register unit, the number of shift register units can be reduced, the area occupied by the drive control circuit can be reduced, and the area occupied by the border area can be reduced, thereby achieving a narrow-border design for the display panel.

[0128] In some examples, in combination with Figure 3a, Figure 5a and Figure 5b, the pixel control circuit can include a first light-emitting control circuit 120 (i.e., a first light-emitting control transistor M2), the drive control circuit includes a first light-emitting drive control circuit 211, and the first light-emitting drive control circuit 211 includes a plurality of first light-emitting shift register units GEM1_1 to GEM1_A (A is an integer greater than 0). The plurality of first light-emitting shift register units GEM1_1 to GEM1_A can be cascaded, that is, the input signal terminal of the first-stage first light-emitting shift register unit GEM1_1 among the plurality of first light-emitting shift register units GEM1_1 to GEM1_A is coupled to the first light-emitting trigger signal terminal ESTV1, and the drive output terminal of the upper-stage first light-emitting shift register unit among the plurality of first light-emitting shift register units GEM1_1 to GEM1_A is coupled to the input signal terminal of the next-stage first light-emitting shift register unit. For example, the driving output terminal of the first light emitting shift register unit GEM1_k / 2 is coupled to the input signal terminal of the first light emitting shift register unit GEM1_(k+2) / 2.

[0129] Furthermore, the shift register unit includes a first light-emitting shift register unit, and the control signal line includes a first light-emitting control signal line EML1. Furthermore, the first light-emitting control signal lines EML1 corresponding to at least two adjacent rows of sub-pixels are coupled to each other and then coupled to one of the plurality of first light-emitting shift register units. This configuration can reduce the number of first light-emitting shift register units, thereby reducing the occupied area of ​​the border area, thereby achieving a narrow-border design for the display panel. For example, the first light-emitting control signal lines EML1 corresponding to two adjacent rows of sub-pixels can be coupled to each other and then coupled to one of the plurality of first light-emitting shift register units. For example, as shown in Figures 5a, 5b and 6, the first light-emitting control signal line EML1_k-1 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k-1th row and the first light-emitting control signal line EML1_k corresponding to the sub-pixels in the kth row are coupled to each other and then coupled to the driving output end of the first light-emitting shift register unit GEM1_k / 2. The first light-emitting control signal em1_k-1 is input to the first light-emitting control signal line EML1_k-1 and the first light-emitting control signal line EML1_k through the first light-emitting shift register unit GEM1_k / 2. Furthermore, the first light-emission control signal line EML1_k+1 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k+1th row and the first light-emission control signal line EML1_k+2 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k+2th row are coupled to each other and then coupled to the driving output terminal of the first light-emission shift register unit GEM1_(k+2) / 2. The first light-emission control signal em1_k+1 is input to the first light-emission control signal line EML1_k+1 and the first light-emission control signal line EML1_k+2 via the first light-emission shift register unit GEM1_(k+2) / 2. This configuration can reduce the number of first light-emission shift register units by half. Of course, in practical applications, the first light-emission control signal lines EML1 corresponding to three, four, or more adjacent rows of sub-pixels can also be coupled to each other and then coupled to a single first light-emission shift register unit, but this is not limited here.

[0130] It should be noted that, taking the kth row of sub-pixels as an example, during the threshold compensation phase T2, both the first emission control transistor M2 and the first reset control transistor M4 are turned on, i.e., during the period when both the em1_k and re1_k signals are valid signals (e.g., high level). Furthermore, during the signal writing phase T3, i.e., after the threshold compensation phase T2, the ga_k signal is valid (e.g., high level), and the data writing transistor M1 is turned on. Therefore, the threshold voltage compensation time is determined by the period between the rising edge of the em1_k signal and the falling edge of the re1_k signal. Therefore, if the rising edge of re1_k+n corresponding to the k+nth row sub-pixel occurs before the falling edge of em1_k corresponding to the kth row sub-pixel, but does not affect other normal timing operations, the first emission control signal line EML1 corresponding to the kth row sub-pixel to the first emission control signal line EML1 corresponding to the k+nth row sub-pixel can be electrically connected to each other; where n is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0131] In a specific implementation, as shown in FIG5a and FIG5b, the non-display area further includes: a fourth light-emitting drive control circuit 214, which includes a plurality of fourth light-emitting shift register units GEM4_1 to GEM4_B (B is an integer greater than 0). The plurality of fourth light-emitting shift register units GEM4_1 to GEM4_B can be cascaded, that is, the input signal terminal of the first-stage fourth light-emitting shift register unit GEM4_1 among the plurality of fourth light-emitting shift register units GEM4_1 to GEM4_B is coupled to the fourth light-emitting trigger signal terminal ESTV4, and the driving output terminal of the previous-stage fourth light-emitting shift register unit among the plurality of fourth light-emitting shift register units GEM4_1 to GEM4_B is coupled to the input signal terminal of the next-stage fourth light-emitting shift register unit. For example, the driving output terminal of the fourth light-emitting shift register unit GEM4_k is coupled to the input signal terminal of the fourth light-emitting shift register unit GEM4_k+1.

[0132] Furthermore, the second light-emitting control signal line EML2 corresponding to each row of sub-pixels is coupled to one of the plurality of fourth light-emitting shift register units.

The plurality of second reset shift register units GRE2_1 to GRE2_C can be cascaded, that is, the input signal terminal of the first-stage second reset shift register unit GRE2_1 among the plurality of second reset shift register units GRE2_1 to GRE2_C is coupled to the second reset trigger signal terminal RSTV2, and the driving output terminal of the previous-stage second reset shift register unit among the plurality of second reset shift register units GRE2_1 to GRE2_C is coupled to the input signal terminal of the next-stage second reset shift register unit.

[0138] In actual applications, the display panel can operate at multiple refresh frequencies, for example, it can operate at 1Hz, 60Hz, 90Hz and 120Hz. In addition, with the development of science and technology, display schemes that support different refresh frequencies in different areas have emerged. In a specific implementation, the display area includes multiple display sub-areas, and the multiple display sub-areas are arranged along the column direction of the sub-pixels, and the refresh frequencies of any two display sub-areas in the multiple display sub-areas may be the same or different. For example, as shown in FIG7 , the display area is divided into two display sub-areas Aa and Ab.

Furthermore, the plurality of scan register groups corresponds one-to-one to a plurality of scan trigger signal terminals, and the input signal terminals of the first-stage scan shift register units in the scan register groups are coupled to the corresponding scan trigger signal terminals. For example, as shown in FIG7 , taking the display region as including two display sub-regions Aa and Ab as an example, display sub-region Aa corresponds to scan register group 230a, and scan register group 230a includes first-stage scan shift register units GGA_1 to k-th stage scan shift register units GGA_k.

[0151] By combining Figures 10a and 10b , the refresh frequency of display sub-area Aa can be made greater than the refresh frequency of display sub-area Ab. For example, the refresh frequency of display sub-area Aa is 60 Hz, while the refresh frequency of display sub-area Ab is 1 Hz.

[0152] The present disclosure provides some further structural diagrams of display panels, as shown in Figure 11a, which are modifications of the implementation in the above embodiment. The following only describes the differences between this embodiment and the above embodiment, and the similarities are not repeated here.

[0153] In the disclosed embodiment, as shown in Figures 11a and 11b, the pixel control circuit includes a second light-emitting control circuit 130, and the drive control circuit includes a third light-emitting drive control circuit. The third light-emitting drive control circuit includes a plurality of third light-emitting shift register units GEM3_1 to GEM3_F (F is an integer greater than 0). The plurality of third light-emitting shift register units GEM3_1 to GEM3_F can be cascaded, and the shift register units include a third light-emitting shift register unit. Furthermore, the control signal line includes a second light-emitting control signal line EML2. The second light-emitting control signal lines EML2 corresponding to two adjacent rows of sub-pixels are coupled to each other and then to one of the plurality of third light-emitting shift register units. For example, as shown in Figures 11a to 12, the second light-emitting control signal line EML2_k-1 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k-1th row and the second light-emitting control signal line EML2_k corresponding to the sub-pixels in the kth row are coupled to each other and then coupled to the driving output end of the third light-emitting shift register unit GEM3_k / 2. The second light-emitting control signal em2_k-1 is input to the second light-emitting control signal line EML2_k-1 and the second light-emitting control signal line EML2_k through the third light-emitting shift register unit GEM3_k / 2. Furthermore, the second light-emitting control signal line EML2_k+1 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k+1th row and the second light-emitting control signal line EML2_k+2 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k+2th row are coupled to each other and then coupled to the driving output terminal of the third light-emitting shift register unit GEM3_(k+2) / 2. The second light-emitting control signal em2_k+1 is input to the second light-emitting control signal line EML2_k+1 and the second light-emitting control signal line EML2_k+2 via the third light-emitting shift register unit GEM3_(k+2) / 2. This configuration can reduce the number of third light-emitting shift register units by half. Of course, in practical applications, the second light-emitting control signal lines EML2 corresponding to three, four, or more adjacent rows of sub-pixels can also be coupled to each other and then coupled to a single third light-emitting shift register unit, but this is not limited here.

[0154] It should be noted that, taking the sub-pixels in the k-1th and k-th rows as an example, during the threshold compensation phase T2_k-1 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k-1th row, both the first emission control transistor M2 and the first reset control transistor M4 are turned on, i.e., the period during which both the em1_k-1 and re1_k-1 signals are valid signals (e.g., high level). Furthermore, during the signal writing phase T3_k-1, the ga_k-1 signal is valid (e.g., high level), and the data writing transistor M1 is turned on. During the threshold compensation phase T2_k corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k-th row, both the first emission control transistor M2 and the first reset control transistor M4 are turned on, i.e., the period during which both the em1_k and re1_k signals are valid signals (e.g., high level). Furthermore, during the signal writing phase T3_k, the ga_k signal is valid (e.g., high level), and the data writing transistor M1 is turned on. Therefore, if the falling edge of ga_k+m corresponding to the sub-pixel in the k+mth row is before the rising edge of em2_k corresponding to the sub-pixel in the kth row, but does not affect the normal operation of other timings, the second light-emitting control signal line EML2 corresponding to the sub-pixel in the kth row to the second light-emitting control signal line EML2 corresponding to the sub-pixel in the k+mth row can be electrically connected to each other; wherein m is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0155] Furthermore, the structures shown in Figures 11a and 11b can also support multiple display sub-areas. In a specific implementation, the multiple third light-emitting shift register units include multiple third light-emitting register groups. The multiple third light-emitting register groups correspond one-to-one to the multiple display sub-areas, and the multiple third light-emitting register groups are coupled to the second light-emitting control signal lines EML2 in the corresponding display sub-areas. Furthermore, the multiple third light-emitting register groups correspond one-to-one to multiple third light-emitting trigger signal terminals, and the input signal terminals of the first-stage third light-emitting shift register units in the third light-emitting register groups are coupled to the corresponding third light-emitting trigger signal terminals. Alternatively, the multiple third light-emitting register groups correspond to one third light-emitting trigger signal terminal, the input signal terminal of the first-stage third light-emitting shift register unit in the first third light-emitting register group of the multiple third light-emitting register groups is coupled to the third light-emitting trigger signal terminal, and the driving output terminal of the last-stage third light-emitting shift register unit in the previous third light-emitting register group of two adjacent third light-emitting register groups is coupled to the input signal terminal of the first-stage third light-emitting shift register unit in the next third light-emitting register group. The non-display area further includes a second light-emitting drive control circuit, the second light-emitting drive control circuit including a plurality of second light-emitting shift register units. The first light-emitting control signal line EML1 corresponding to each row of sub-pixels is coupled to one of the plurality of second light-emitting shift register units. The plurality of second light-emitting shift register units include a plurality of second light-emitting register groups, each of the plurality of second light-emitting register groups corresponding one-to-one to the plurality of display sub-areas, and each of the plurality of second light-emitting register groups is coupled to the first light-emitting control signal line EML1 in the corresponding display sub-area. Multiple second light-emitting register groups correspond one-to-one to multiple second light-emitting trigger signal terminals, and the input signal terminal of the first-stage second light-emitting shift register unit in the second light-emitting register group is coupled to the corresponding second light-emitting trigger signal terminal; or, multiple second light-emitting register groups correspond to one second light-emitting trigger signal terminal, the input signal terminal of the first-stage second light-emitting shift register unit in the first second light-emitting register group of the multiple second light-emitting register groups is coupled to the second light-emitting trigger signal terminal, and the driving output terminal of the last-stage second light-emitting shift register unit of the upper second light-emitting register group in two adjacent second light-emitting register groups is coupled to the input signal terminal of the first-stage second light-emitting shift register unit of the next second light-emitting register group.

[0156] For example, as shown in FIG11a and FIG11b, sub-areas Aa and Ab are displayed. Sub-area Aa corresponds to scan register group 230a, second reset register group 222a, fourth reset register group 224a, third light-emitting register group 213a, and second light-emitting register group 212a. Sub-area Ab corresponds to scan register group 230b, second reset register group 222b, fourth reset register group 224b, third light-emitting register group 213b, and second light-emitting register group 212b. The second light-emitting shift register unit GEM2_1 is coupled to the second light-emitting trigger signal terminal ESTV2, and the third light-emitting shift register unit GEM3_1 is coupled to the third light-emitting trigger signal terminal ESTV3. Furthermore, the signal timing diagram corresponding to the structures shown in FIG11a and FIG11b is shown in FIG12. The specific operation process can be referred to the description in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0157] The present disclosure provides some further structural diagrams of display panels, as shown in FIG13a, which are modifications of the implementation in the above embodiment. The following only describes the differences between this embodiment and the above embodiment, and the similarities are not repeated here.

[0158] In the disclosed embodiment, as shown in Figures 13a and 13b, the pixel control circuit includes a first reset control circuit 140, and the drive control circuit includes a first reset drive control circuit, which includes a plurality of first reset shift register units GRE1_1 to GRE1_G (G is an integer greater than 0). Furthermore, the shift register unit includes a first reset shift register unit. The control signal line includes a first reset control signal line REL1. The first reset control signal lines REL1 corresponding to two adjacent rows of sub-pixels are coupled to each other and then coupled to one of the plurality of first reset shift register units. For example, as shown in Figures 13a to 14, the first reset control signal line REL1_k-1 corresponding to the sub-pixel in the k-1th row and the first reset control signal line REL1_k corresponding to the sub-pixel in the kth row are coupled to each other and then coupled to the driving output end of the first reset shift register unit GRE1_k / 2, and the first reset control signal re1_k-1 is input to the first reset control signal line REL1_k-1 and the first reset control signal line REL1_k through the first reset shift register unit GRE1_k / 2. Furthermore, the first reset control signal line REL1_k+1 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k+1th row and the first reset control signal line REL1_k+2 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k+2th row are coupled to each other and then coupled to the driving output terminal of the first reset shift register unit GRE1_(k+2) / 2. The first reset control signal re1_k+1 is input to the first reset control signal line REL1_k+1 and the first reset control signal line REL1_k+2 via the first reset shift register unit GRE1_(k+2) / 2. This configuration can reduce the number of first reset shift register units by half. Of course, in practical applications, the first reset control signal lines REL1 corresponding to three, four, or more adjacent rows of sub-pixels can also be coupled to each other and then coupled to one first reset shift register unit, but this is not limited here.

[0159] It should be noted that, taking the sub-pixels in the k-1th and k-th rows as an example, during the threshold compensation phase T2_k-1 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k-1th row, both the first emission control transistor M2 and the first reset control transistor M4 are turned on, i.e., the period during which both the em1_k-1 and re1_k-1 signals are valid signals (e.g., high level). Furthermore, during the signal writing phase T3_k-1, the ga_k-1 signal is valid (e.g., high level), and the data writing transistor M1 is turned on. During the threshold compensation phase T2_k corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k-th row, both the first emission control transistor M2 and the first reset control transistor M4 are turned on, i.e., the period during which both the em1_k and re1_k signals are valid signals (e.g., high level). Furthermore, during the signal writing phase T3_k, the ga_k signal is valid (e.g., high level), and the data writing transistor M1 is turned on. Therefore, if the rising edge of ga_k+p corresponding to the sub-pixel in the k+pth row is after the falling edge of re1_k corresponding to the sub-pixel in the kth row, but does not affect the normal operation of other timings, the first reset control signal line REL1 corresponding to the sub-pixel in the kth row to the first reset control signal line REL1 corresponding to the sub-pixel in the k+pth row can be electrically connected to each other; wherein p is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0160] Moreover, taking the kth row of sub-pixels as an example, in order to make the threshold compensation stages T2 corresponding to the rows of sub-pixels of the first reset control signal line REL1 electrically connected to each other the same, the falling edge of re1_k-1 can also be adjusted, for example, the falling edge of re1_k-1 can be adjusted to after the falling edge of em1_k.

[0161] Furthermore, the structures shown in FIG13a and FIG13b can also support multiple display sub-areas. In a specific implementation, the multiple first reset shift register units include multiple first reset register groups, each corresponding one-to-one to the multiple display sub-areas, and each coupled to the first reset control signal line REL1 in the corresponding display sub-area. Furthermore, the multiple first reset register groups correspond one-to-one to the multiple first reset trigger signal terminals, and the input signal terminals of the first-stage first reset shift register units in the first reset register groups are coupled to the corresponding first reset trigger signal terminals. Alternatively, the multiple first reset register groups correspond to one first reset trigger signal terminal, the input signal terminal of the first-stage first reset shift register unit in the first reset register group of the multiple first reset register groups is coupled to the first reset register group, and the driving output terminal of the last-stage first reset shift register unit of the previous first reset register group of two adjacent first reset register groups is coupled to the input signal terminal of the first-stage first reset shift register unit of the next first reset register group.

[0162] For example, as shown in Figures 13a and 13b, sub-areas Aa and Ab are displayed. Sub-area Aa corresponds to the scan register group 230a, the first reset register group 221a, the fourth reset register group 224a, the fourth light-emitting register group 214a, and the second light-emitting register group 212a. Sub-area Ab corresponds to the scan register group 230b, the first reset register group 221b, the fourth reset register group 224b, the fourth light-emitting register group 214b, and the second light-emitting register group 212b. The first reset shift register unit GRE1_1 is coupled to the first reset trigger signal terminal RSTV1a, and the first reset shift register unit GRE1_(k+2) / 2 is coupled to the first reset trigger signal terminal RSTV1b. Furthermore, the signal timing diagram corresponding to the structures shown in Figures 13a and 13b is shown in Figure 14. The specific working process thereof can be referred to the description in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0163] The present disclosure provides some further structural diagrams of display panels, as shown in FIG15a, which are modifications of the implementation in the above embodiment. The following only describes the differences between this embodiment and the above embodiment, and the similarities are not repeated here.

[0164] In the disclosed embodiment, as shown in Figures 15a and 15b, the pixel control circuit may also include a second reset control circuit 150, and the drive control circuit may include a third reset drive control circuit, the third reset drive control circuit including a plurality of third reset shift register units GRE3_1 to GRE3_H (H is an integer greater than 0). Furthermore, the shift register unit includes a third reset shift register unit. The control signal line includes a second reset control signal line REL2. The second reset control signal lines REL2 corresponding to two adjacent rows of sub-pixels are coupled to each other and then coupled to one of the plurality of third reset shift register units. For example, as shown in Figures 15a to 16, the second reset control signal line REL2_k-1 corresponding to the sub-pixel in the k-1th row and the second reset control signal line REL2_k corresponding to the sub-pixel in the kth row are coupled to each other and then coupled to the driving output end of the third reset shift register unit GRE3_k / 2, and the second reset control signal re2_k-1 is input to the second reset control signal line REL2_k-1 and the second reset control signal line REL2_k through the third reset shift register unit GRE3_k / 2. Furthermore, the second reset control signal line REL2_k+1 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k+1th row and the second reset control signal line REL2_k+2 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k+2th row are coupled to each other and then coupled to the driving output terminal of the third reset shift register unit GRE3_(k+2) / 2. The second reset control signal re2_k+1 is input to the second reset control signal line REL2_k+1 and the second reset control signal line REL2_k+2 via the third reset shift register unit GRE3_(k+2) / 2. This configuration can reduce the number of third reset shift register units by half. Of course, in practical applications, the second reset control signal lines REL2 corresponding to three, four, or more adjacent rows of sub-pixels can also be coupled to each other and then coupled to one third reset shift register unit, but this is not limited here.

[0165] It should be noted that, taking the sub-pixels in the k-1th and k-th rows as an example, during the threshold compensation phase T2_k-1 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k-1th row, both the first emission control transistor M2 and the first reset control transistor M4 are turned on, i.e., the period during which both the em1_k-1 and re1_k-1 signals are valid signals (e.g., high level). Furthermore, during the signal writing phase T3_k-1, the ga_k-1 signal is valid (e.g., high level), and the data writing transistor M1 is turned on. During the threshold compensation phase T2_k corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k-th row, both the first emission control transistor M2 and the first reset control transistor M4 are turned on, i.e., the period during which both the em1_k and re1_k signals are valid signals (e.g., high level). Furthermore, during the signal writing phase T3_k, the ga_k signal is valid (e.g., high level), and the data writing transistor M1 is turned on. Therefore, if the rising edge of ga_k+q corresponding to the sub-pixel in the k+qth row is after the falling edge of re1_k corresponding to the sub-pixel in the kth row, but does not affect the normal operation of other timing sequences, the first reset control signal line REL1 corresponding to the sub-pixel in the kth row to the first reset control signal line REL2 corresponding to the sub-pixel in the k+qth row can be electrically connected to each other; where q is an integer greater than or equal to 2. In addition, if the rising edge of em1_k+w corresponding to the sub-pixel in the k+wth row is before the falling edge of re2_k corresponding to the sub-pixel in the kth row during the initialization phase T1, but does not affect the normal operation of other timing sequences, the second reset control signal line REL2 corresponding to the sub-pixel in the kth row to the second reset control signal line REL3 corresponding to the sub-pixel in the k+wth row can be electrically connected to each other; where w is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0166] Moreover, taking the kth row of sub-pixels as an example, in order to make the threshold compensation stages T2 corresponding to the rows of sub-pixels of the first reset control signal line REL1 electrically connected to each other the same, the falling edge of re1_k-1 can also be adjusted, for example, the falling edge of re1_k-1 can be adjusted to after the falling edge of em1_k.

[0167] Furthermore, the structures shown in FIG15a and FIG15b can also support multiple display sub-areas. In a specific implementation, the multiple third reset shift register units include multiple third reset register groups, each corresponding one-to-one to the multiple display sub-areas, and each coupled to the second reset control signal line REL2 in the corresponding display sub-area. Furthermore, the multiple third reset register groups correspond one-to-one to the multiple third reset trigger signal terminals, and the input signal terminal of the first-stage third reset shift register unit in the third reset register group is coupled to the corresponding third reset trigger signal terminal. Alternatively, the multiple third reset register groups correspond to one third reset trigger signal terminal, the input signal terminal of the first-stage third reset shift register unit in the first third reset register group of the multiple third reset register groups is coupled to the third reset register group, and the driving output terminal of the last-stage third reset shift register unit in the previous third reset register group of two adjacent third reset register groups is coupled to the input signal terminal of the first-stage third reset shift register unit in the next third reset register group.

[0168] For example, as shown in Figures 15a and 15b, sub-areas Aa and Ab are displayed. Sub-area Aa corresponds to the scan register group 230a, the first reset register group 221a, the third reset register group 223a, the fourth light-emitting register group 214a, and the second light-emitting register group 212a. Sub-area Ab corresponds to the scan register group 230b, the first reset register group 221b, the third reset register group 223b, the fourth light-emitting register group 214b, and the second light-emitting register group 212b. The third reset shift register unit GRE3_1 is coupled to the third reset trigger signal terminal RSTV3. Furthermore, the signal timing diagram corresponding to the structures shown in Figures 15a and 15b is shown in Figure 16. The specific operation process can be referred to the description in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

Furthermore, the first reset control signal line REL1_k+1 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k+1th row and the first reset control signal line REL1_k+2 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k+2th row are coupled to each other and then coupled to the driving output terminal of the first reset shift register unit GRE1_(k+2) / 2. The second reset control signal line REL2_k-1 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k-1th row and the second reset control signal line REL2_k corresponding to the sub-pixels in the kth row are coupled to each other and then to the driving output terminal of the third reset shift register unit GRE3_k / 2. Furthermore, the second reset control signal line REL2_k+1 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k+1th row and the second reset control signal line REL2_k+2 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k+2th row are coupled to each other and then to the driving output terminal of the third reset shift register unit GRE3_(k+2) / 2. The second emission control signal line EML2_k-1 corresponding to the sub-pixels in the k-1th row and the second emission control signal line EML2_k corresponding to the sub-pixels in the kth row are coupled to each other and then to the driving output terminal of the third emission shift register unit GEM3_k / 2.
