[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. A person of ordinary skill in the art can easily understand the fact that the methods and contents can be transformed into various forms without departing from the purpose and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. Unless there is a conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other. In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, the present disclosure omits detailed descriptions of some known functions and known components. The drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure only involve structures related to the embodiments of the present disclosure. Other structures can refer to the general design
[0042] The scales of the figures in this disclosure can be used as a reference for actual processes, but are not limited to such. For example, the width-to-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of the various film layers, and the width and spacing of the various signal lines can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display device and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the numbers shown in the figures. The figures described in this disclosure are merely schematic structural diagrams, and one embodiment of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the figures.
[0043] In this specification, ordinal numbers such as “first”, “second” and “third” are provided to avoid confusion among constituent elements, and are not intended to limit the number.
[0044] In this specification, for convenience, words and phrases indicating orientation or positional relationships, such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inside," and "outside," are used to illustrate the positional relationships of constituent elements with reference to the accompanying drawings. This is merely for the purpose of facilitating the description of this specification and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure. The positional relationships of constituent elements may be appropriately changed depending on the direction in which each constituent element is described. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the words and phrases described in the specification and may be appropriately replaced according to the circumstances.
[0045] In this specification, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through intermediaries, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this disclosure.
[0046] In this specification, a transistor refers to a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between a drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and a source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.
[0047] In this specification, in order to distinguish the two electrodes of a transistor other than the gate electrode, one of the electrodes is directly described as the first electrode and the other as the second electrode. The first electrode can be the drain electrode and the second electrode can be the source electrode, or the first electrode can be the source electrode and the second electrode can be the drain electrode. In cases where transistors with opposite polarity are used or where the direction of current changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" are sometimes interchangeable. Therefore, in this specification, the terms "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged.
[0048] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes components connected together via an element having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it enables the transfer of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other components with various functions.
[0049] In this specification, "parallel" refers to a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than -10° and less than 10°, and thus also includes a state where the angle is greater than -5° and less than 5°. Furthermore, "perpendicular" refers to a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than 80° and less than 100°, and thus also includes a state where the angle is greater than 85° and less than 95°.
[0050] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may be replaced with "insulating layer."
[0051] In this specification, the term "same-layer arrangement" refers to a structure formed by patterning two (or more) structures using the same patterning process. The materials of these structures can be the same or different. For example, the precursor materials for forming the multiple structures arranged in the same layer can be the same, and the materials of the final structures can be the same or different.
[0052] The triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons or hexagons in this specification are not in the strict sense, but may be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons or hexagons, etc. There may be some small deformations caused by tolerances, and there may be chamfers, arc edges and deformations.
[0053] The term "about" in the present disclosure refers to a numerical value that is not strictly defined and allows for process and measurement errors.

[0077] The second stage A2 can be called the self-discharge stage. The signal of the third scanning signal line S3 is a high-level signal, and the fourth transistor T4 is continuously turned on. The signal of the first scanning signal line S13 changes from a low-level signal to a high-level signal, causing the first transistor T1 to be disconnected first, and the first node N1 to float. Subsequently, the signal of the second scanning signal line S2 changes from a low-level signal to a high-level signal, causing the second transistor T2 to be disconnected, and the second node N2 forms a loop through the turned-on third transistor T3, the third node N3 and the turned-on fourth transistor T4, and begins to discharge, and the potential of the second node N2 drops. Because the first node N1 is floating, the voltage difference across the first capacitor C1 remains unchanged, and thus the potential of the first node N1 drops as the potential of the second node N2 drops. Due to the back-gate effect of the third transistor T3, the gate-source voltage Vgs of the third transistor T3 remains unchanged, and thus the equivalent threshold voltage |V th_EF |As the potential of the second node N2 decreases, the equivalent threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 gradually increases. th_EF |=α(ELVDD-Vs)+|Vth|, α is the back gate coefficient. When the equivalent threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 |V th_EF When Vgs increases to the gate-source voltage Vgs of the third transistor T3, the third transistor T3 is turned off and the second node N2 stops discharging.
[0078] The third stage A3 can be called the data writing stage and the threshold compensation stage. The signal of the second scan signal line S2 is a high-level signal, and the second transistor T2 is continuously off. The signal of the third scan signal line S3 is a high-level signal, and the fourth transistor T4 is continuously on. The signal of the first scan signal line S13 changes from a high-level signal to a low-level signal, turning on the first transistor T1. Turning on the first transistor T1 causes the data voltage Vdata output by the data signal line DATA to be written to the first node N1, and the potential of the first node N1 changes from Vofs to Vdata. Because the second node N2 is floating, threshold compensation can be achieved in this stage.
[0079] The fourth phase A4 can be referred to as the light-emitting phase. The signals on the second and third scan signal lines S2 and S3 are low-level signals, while the signal on the first scan signal line S1 is high-level. This turns on the second transistor T2, while the first and fourth transistors T1 and T4 are off. Turning on the second transistor T2 causes the power supply voltage output from the first power line VDD to provide a driving voltage to the first electrode of the light-emitting device EL through the turned-on second and third transistors T2 and T3, driving the light-emitting device EL to emit light.
[0080] In the light-emitting stage, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is not affected by the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, eliminating the influence of the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 on the driving current, ensuring uniform display brightness of the display product and improving the display effect of the entire display product.

In an exemplary embodiment, the gate drive device can be arranged in a non-display area, can be located on one side of the pixel row direction of the display area, or can be located on both sides of the pixel row direction of the display area. The gate drive device can include multiple cascaded gate drive circuits, at least one gate drive circuit is connected to the scan signal line in a pixel row in the display area, and provides a scan signal to the connected scan signal line. When the gate drive device is arranged on both sides of the pixel row direction of the display area, the scan signal line in the pixel row is driven by two gate drive circuits to form a bilateral drive structure, which can ensure the driving capability of high pixel density and avoid distortion of the drive signal. As shown in Figure 6, the gate drive circuit may include a shift register circuit 100, a logical operation circuit (Logical Transition Unit) 200, a level converter (Level shifter) 300 and a line driver enhancer (Line Driver) 400.
