[0093] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. And in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. 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.
[0094] 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 "connect" or "connected" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.
[0095] 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 same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions.
[0096] The display device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a display panel, and the display area of the display panel includes a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array. Exemplarily, each pixel unit includes a plurality of sub-pixels. For example, the 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, the 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.
[0097] In the disclosed embodiments, each sub-pixel includes a pixel circuit, which includes a driving transistor and a light-emitting device to drive the light-emitting device to emit light, thereby enabling the display panel to display images. Due to factors such as process technology and device aging, the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor may be non-uniform. This causes the current flowing through different light-emitting devices to vary, resulting in uneven display brightness, thereby affecting the overall image display effect.
[0098] Furthermore, due to the current market's high demand for display quality, high frame rate display has become a trend in the future display industry. However, high frame rate display consumes a lot of power, resulting in a decrease in the battery life of the display device. The introduction of high and low frame rate switching technology (Variable Refresh Rate, VRR) can improve power consumption and increase the battery life of the display device. However, under low frame rate display, the hysteresis effect of the driving transistor will cause the display to have an afterimage problem, affecting the display effect; and flickering will occur when switching between each frame, further affecting the display effect.
[0099] The display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG1 , includes: a base substrate 100 including a plurality of sub-pixels spx, each of the plurality of sub-pixels spx including a pixel circuit 200;
[0100] The pixel circuit 200 includes:
[0101] Light emitting device L;
[0102] a driving transistor M0 coupled to the light emitting device L and configured to generate a driving current for driving the light emitting device L to emit light according to the data voltage signal;
[0103] The first control circuit 10 is coupled to the driving transistor M0 and is configured to provide a signal on the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 to the first electrode of the driving transistor M0 in response to a signal on the first control signal line CS1, and to conduct the gate electrode of the driving transistor M0 to the second electrode in response to signals on the second control signal line CS2 and the third control signal line CS3;
[0104] The second control circuit 20 is coupled to the first node N1 and configured to provide a signal on the second reference voltage signal line Vref2 to the first node N1 in response to a signal on the fourth control signal line CS4;
[0105] The data writing circuit 30 is coupled to the first node N1 and is configured to provide a data voltage signal on the data signal line DA to the first node N1 in response to a signal on the scan signal line SS;
[0106] a coupling control circuit 40 coupled to the gate of the driving transistor M0 and the first node N1, configured to couple the data voltage signal of the first node N1 to the gate of the driving transistor M0 and stabilize the voltage of the first node N1;
[0107] The light-emitting control circuit 50 is coupled to the driving transistor M0 and the light-emitting device L, and is configured to provide the signal on the first power signal line VDD to the first electrode of the driving transistor M0 in response to the signal on the first light-emitting control signal line EM1, and to connect the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 to the light-emitting device L in response to the signal on the second light-emitting control signal line EM2, thereby driving the light-emitting device L to emit light.
[0108] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, through the cooperation of the first control circuit, the second control circuit, the data writing circuit, the coupling control circuit, and the light emitting control circuit, the threshold voltage compensation of the driving transistor is performed separately from the writing of the data voltage signal. As a result, the threshold voltage compensation duration of the driving transistor is not limited by the writing of the data voltage signal. The threshold voltage compensation process can be performed for a longer period of time, which is beneficial to the stability of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor. In turn, high frame rate display can be achieved and the influence of the threshold voltage drift of the driving transistor on the light emission of the light emitting device can be avoided, thereby improving the image quality of high frame rate display.
[0109] Moreover, by cooperating with each other, the first control circuit, the second control circuit, the data writing circuit, the coupling control circuit and the light emitting control circuit, the driving transistor is strongly biased, which can improve the hysteresis effect of the driving transistor, thereby avoiding the afterimage problem and the flicker problem and improving the display effect.
[0110] For example, as shown in FIG1 , the driving transistor M0 can be configured as a P-type transistor, wherein the first electrode of the driving transistor M0 can be its source electrode, and the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 can be its drain electrode. Of course, the driving transistor M0 can also be configured as an N-type transistor, which is not limited here.
[0111] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG1 , the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 is coupled to the anode of the light-emitting device L, and the cathode of the light-emitting device L is coupled to the second power signal line VSS. Exemplarily, the light-emitting device L may include at least one of: a micro light-emitting diode (Micro Light Emitting Diode, Micro LED), an organic light-emitting diode (Organic Light Emitting Diode, OLED) and a quantum dot light-emitting diode (Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes, QLED). Exemplarily, the light-emitting device L may include a stacked anode, a light-emitting layer, and a cathode. Furthermore, the light-emitting layer may also include film layers such as a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer. In actual applications, the specific structure of the light-emitting device can be designed and determined according to the actual application environment, and is not limited here.

[0113] For example, the first transistor M1 can be turned on under the control of the active level of the first control signal transmitted by the first control signal line CS1, and can be turned off under the control of the inactive level of the first control signal. For example, if the first transistor M1 is configured as a P-type transistor, the active level of the first control signal is a low level, and the inactive level of the first control signal is a high level. Alternatively, if the first transistor M1 is configured as an N-type transistor, the active level of the first control signal is a high level, and the inactive level of the first control signal is a low level.
[0114] For example, the second transistor M2 can be turned on under the control of the active level of the second control signal transmitted by the second control signal line CS2, and can be turned off under the control of the inactive level of the second control signal. For example, if the second transistor M2 is configured as a P-type transistor, the active level of the second control signal is a low level, and the inactive level of the second control signal is a high level. Alternatively, if the second transistor M2 is configured as an N-type transistor, the active level of the second control signal is a high level, and the inactive level of the second control signal is a low level.
[0115] For example, the third transistor M3 can be turned on under the control of the active level of the third control signal transmitted by the third control signal line CS3, and can be turned off under the control of the inactive level of the third control signal. For example, if the third transistor M3 is configured as a P-type transistor, the active level of the third control signal is a low level, and the inactive level of the third control signal is a high level.

[0117] For example, the fourth transistor M4 can be turned on under the control of the active level of the fourth control signal transmitted by the fourth control signal line CS4, and can be turned off under the control of the inactive level of the fourth control signal. For example, if the fourth transistor M4 is configured as a P-type transistor, the active level of the fourth control signal is a low level, and the inactive level of the fourth control signal is a high level. Alternatively, if the fourth transistor M4 is configured as an N-type transistor, the active level of the fourth control signal is a high level, and the inactive level of the fourth control signal is a low level.

For example, if the ninth transistor M9 is configured as a P-type transistor, the active level of the first control signal is a low level, and the inactive level of the first control signal is a high level.

[0131] The present disclosure provides other schematic diagrams of pixel circuits, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, which are variations of the implementations in the above embodiments. The following only describes the differences between this embodiment and the above embodiments, and the similarities are not repeated here.
[0132] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG3 , the pixel circuit 200 further includes: a second reset circuit 70 coupled to the light-emitting device L and configured to provide the signal on the first initialization signal line Vinit1 to the light-emitting device L in response to the signal on the first control signal line CS1 .
[0133] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 4, the second reset circuit 70 includes: a ninth transistor M9; wherein the gate of the ninth transistor M9 is coupled to the first control signal line CS1, the first electrode of the ninth transistor M9 is coupled to the light-emitting device L, and the second electrode of the ninth transistor M9 is coupled to the first initialization signal line Vinit1.
[0134] In the present disclosure, the first reset circuit 60 and the second reset circuit 70 are coupled to the first initialization signal line Vinit1 , which can reduce the number of signal lines, lower the wiring difficulty, and further simplify the circuit layout.
[0135] For example, the first electrode of the transistor can be its source electrode, and the second electrode can be its drain electrode. Alternatively, the first electrode can be its drain electrode, and the second electrode can be its source electrode. This is not limited here.
[0136] For example, the first power signal line VDD can be configured to carry a constant first power voltage VDD, which is generally a positive value. Furthermore, the second power signal line VSS can be configured to carry a constant second power voltage VSS, which is generally a ground voltage or a negative value. In actual applications, the specific values of the first power voltage VDD and the second power voltage VSS can be designed and determined based on the actual application environment and are not limited here.
[0137] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 5 to 13, it also includes: a first semiconductor layer 110, a first conductive layer 120, a second conductive layer 130, a second semiconductor layer 140, a third conductive layer 150, a fourth conductive layer 160 and a fifth conductive layer 170 stacked in sequence on the base substrate 100; wherein the materials of the first semiconductor layer 110 and the second semiconductor layer 140 are different.
[0138] It should be noted that the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer are used to form the active layer of each transistor in the pixel circuit. The active layer includes a channel region, and source and drain regions located on either side of the channel region. By configuring the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer to be made of different materials, the present disclosure reduces leakage current in the pixel circuit and improves the display effect and quality of the display panel.
[0139] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 6 , an auxiliary conductive layer 101 is further included, located between the base substrate 100 and the first semiconductor layer 110 .
[0140] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the material of the first semiconductor layer 110 is a low-temperature polysilicon material, and the material of the second semiconductor layer 140 is an oxide material.
[0141] Transistors using low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) as active layers generally have high mobility and can be made thinner and smaller, with lower power consumption. In specific implementations, the active layer of the transistor can also be made of low-temperature polysilicon. This allows the transistor to be an LTPS transistor, enabling the pixel circuit to achieve high mobility, be thinner and smaller, and have lower power consumption.
[0142] Generally, transistors using metal oxide semiconductor materials as their active layers have low leakage current. Therefore, to reduce leakage current, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the active layer of the transistor may include a metal oxide semiconductor material, such as IGZO (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide). Of course, other metal oxide semiconductor materials are also possible and are not limited here. This allows the transistor to be configured as an oxide thin film transistor, thereby reducing leakage current in the pixel circuit.
[0143] For example, some of the transistors in the pixel circuit of the present disclosure can be set as oxide-type transistors, and other transistors can be set as LTPS-type transistors. For example, the third transistor M3, the fourth transistor M4, and the fifth transistor M5 are set as oxide-type transistors, and the driving transistor M0, the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, the sixth transistor M6, the seventh transistor M7, the eighth transistor M8, and the ninth transistor M9 are set as LTPS-type transistors; thereby reducing the leakage current of the pixel circuit and improving the display quality. The embodiment of the present disclosure utilizes the low leakage characteristics of the oxide-type transistor to ensure that the gate voltage value of the driving transistor M0 is maintained under low frame rate display, thereby avoiding flickering of the display panel.
[0144] For example, the materials of the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer, the third conductive layer, the fourth conductive layer, and the fifth conductive layer can be conductive materials. For example, the conductive material can include metal materials or alloy materials such as aluminum, molybdenum, and titanium, or metal oxides such as indium tin oxide (ITO). The embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit the materials of the conductive layers, and can be set as required.
[0145] By way of example, the various structures in the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer, the third conductive layer, the fourth conductive layer, and the fifth conductive layer can be formed using a patterning process. It should be noted that the patterning process may include only a photolithography process, or may include a photolithography process and an etching step, and may also include other processes such as printing and inkjet printing for forming a predetermined pattern. A photolithography process refers to a process that uses photoresist, a mask, an exposure machine, and the like to form a pattern, including film formation, exposure, and development processes. In specific implementations, a corresponding patterning process can be selected based on the structure formed in the present disclosure.

[0164] Exemplarily, the third conductive layer 130 may serve as a shielding layer to shield the parasitic capacitance between the data signal line DA and the gate node of the driving transistor M0 and the first node N1, thereby avoiding adverse effects caused by signal crosstalk and improving display quality.
[0165] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 7 to 13, the signal lines in the first conductive layer 120, the second conductive layer 130, the third conductive layer 150, and the fourth conductive layer 160 extend along the first direction X; the signal lines in the fifth conductive layer 170 extend along the second direction Y.
[0166] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 7 to FIG. 13 , the first conductive layer 120 includes a first control signal line CS1 and a fifth control signal line CS5 ;
[0167] The second conductive layer 130 includes a first initialization signal line Vinit1, a second light emitting control signal line EM2, and at least two first reference voltage signal lines Vref1;
[0168] The third conductive layer 150 includes a first light emitting control signal line EM1;
[0169] The fourth conductive layer 160 includes a scan signal line SS, a fourth control signal line CS4, a second reference voltage signal line Vref2, a first power signal line VDD, a third control signal line CS3, a second control signal line CS2, and a second initialization signal line Vinit2;
[0170] The fifth conductive layer 170 includes a data signal line DA, a first power signal line VDD, and a second reference voltage signal line Vref2. The first power signal line VDD is located between the data signal line DA and the second reference voltage signal line Vref2.
[0171] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 2, the fourth conductive layer 160 also includes: a first connecting portion Z1, a second connecting portion Z2, a third connecting portion Z3, a fourth connecting portion Z4, a fifth connecting portion Z5, a sixth connecting portion Z6, a seventh connecting portion Z7, an eighth connecting portion Z8, a ninth connecting portion Z9, a tenth connecting portion Z10 and an eleventh connecting portion Z11; wherein the first connecting portion Z1 is used to electrically connect the fifth transistor M5 to the data signal line DA; the second connecting portion Z2 is used to electrically connect the fourth transistor M4 and the fifth transistor M5 to the second plate of the first capacitor C1 and the second plate of the second capacitor C2 on the second conductive layer 130 (it should be noted that the second connecting portion Z2 is equivalent to the first node N1); the third connecting portion Z3 is used to electrically connect the first plate of the second capacitor C2 in the first conductive layer 120 to the first plate of the second capacitor C2 in the third conductive layer 150; the fourth connecting portion Z4 is used to electrically connect the gate of the driving transistor M0, the third transistor M3 and the first gate of the driving transistor M0 in the second conductive layer 130. The second plate of a capacitor C1 is electrically connected (it should be noted that the fourth connection part Z4 is equivalent to the second node N2); the fifth connection part Z5 is used to electrically connect the second transistor M2, the eighth transistor M8 and the third transistor M3 (it should be noted that the fifth connection part Z5 is equivalent to the third node N3); the sixth connection part Z6 is used to electrically connect the eighth transistor M8 to the first initialization signal line Vinit1; the seventh connection part Z7 is used to electrically connect the sixth transistor M6 to the first power supply signal line VDD in the fifth conductive layer 170; the eighth connection part Z8 is used to electrically connect the sixth transistor M6 to the first light-emitting control signal line EM1 in the third conductive layer 150; the ninth connection part Z9 is used to electrically connect the seventh transistor M7 to the second light-emitting control signal line EM2 in the second conductive layer 130; the tenth connection part Z10 is used to electrically connect the seventh transistor M7 and the ninth transistor M9 to the anode of the light-emitting device; the eleventh connection part Z11 is used to electrically connect the first transistor M1 to the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 in the second conductive layer 130.
[0172] Among them, the third connection part Z3 and the first power signal line VDD in the fourth conductive layer 160 are an integrated structure. Since the third connection part Z3 is connected to the first plate of the second capacitor C2 in the first conductive layer 120 and the first plate of the second capacitor C2 in the third conductive layer 150, the signal on the first power signal line VDD can be provided to the first plate of the second capacitor C2 in the first conductive layer 120 and the first plate of the second capacitor C2 in the third conductive layer 150. This arrangement can increase the capacitance of the second capacitor C2, and the orthographic projection of the first plate of the second capacitor C2 in the third conductive layer 150 on the substrate partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first plate of the first capacitor C1 on the first conductive layer 120 on the substrate, which can stabilize the voltage on the first node N1, and thus the data signal provided to the first node N1 through the fifth transistor M5 will be more stable. Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the first power signal line VDD in the fifth conductive layer 170 on the substrate overlaps with the orthographic projections of the second connecting portion Z2, the fourth connecting portion Z4, and the fifth connecting portion Z5 on the substrate, thereby stabilizing the voltages of the signals at the first node N1, the second node N2, and the third node N3, further stabilizing the voltages of the signals at the first node N1, the second node N2, and the third node N3. Furthermore, the first power signal line VDD in the fourth conductive layer 160 extends along the first direction X, while the first power signal line VDD in the fifth conductive layer 170 extends along the second direction Y. As a result, the orthographic projection of the first power signal line VDD on the substrate forms a grid. The signal lines extending along the first direction X in the first conductive layer 120, the third conductive layer 150, and the fourth conductive layer 160 are connected to the signal lines extending along the second direction Y in the fifth conductive layer 170, further reducing voltage drop.
[0173] For example, as shown in Figure 8, the first control signal line CS1 is an integrated structure with the gate of the first transistor M1 and the gate of the ninth transistor M9; the fifth control signal line CS5 is an integrated structure with the gate of the eighth transistor M8; then, the first control signal line CS1 in the first conductive layer 120 is multiplexed as the gate of the first transistor M1 and the ninth transistor M9, and the fifth control signal line CS5 in the first conductive layer 120 is multiplexed as the gate of the eighth transistor M8, thereby saving space and improving the space utilization of the display panel.
[0174] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 , the second light emitting control signal line EM2 in the second conductive layer 130 is connected to the gate of the seventh transistor M7 in the first conductive layer 120 .
[0175] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 7 to FIG. 13 , the fourth conductive layer 160 further includes a second power signal line VSS; the second power signal line VSS provides a second power signal to the light emitting device L;
[0176] The fifth conductive layer 170 further includes a first initialization signal line Vinit1 , a second initialization signal line Vinit2 , a first reference voltage signal line Vref1 , and a second power signal line VSS.
[0177] For example, the second initialization signal line Vinit2 in the fifth conductive layer 170 is electrically connected to the second initialization signal line Vinit2 in the fourth conductive layer 160; the second power signal line VSS in the fifth conductive layer 170 is electrically connected to the second power signal line VSS in the fourth conductive layer 160; the first initialization signal line Vinit1 in the fifth conductive layer 170 is electrically connected to the first initialization signal line Vinit1 in the second conductive layer 130; and the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 in the fifth conductive layer 170 is electrically connected to the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 in the second conductive layer 130. Thus, the orthographic projections of the first initialization signal line Vinit1, the second initialization signal line Vinit2, the first reference voltage signal line Vref1, and the second power signal line VSS on the substrate are all arranged in a grid pattern.
[0178] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG5 to FIG15 , the substrate 100 further includes: a plurality of pixel units SPX; the pixel unit SPX includes three sub-pixels (eg, spx1, spx2, spx3 in FIG5 );
[0179] The orthographic projections of the first sub-pixel spx1 and the second sub-pixel spx2 in the pixel unit on the base substrate 100 are symmetrical with respect to the orthographic projection of the second reference voltage signal line Vref2 on the base substrate 100, and the first sub-pixel spx1 and the second sub-pixel spx2 in the pixel unit share the second reference voltage signal line Vref2;
[0180] The orthographic projections of the data signal line DA and the second reference voltage signal line Vref2 on the base substrate 100 are located between the orthographic projections of the second sub-pixel spx2 and the third sub-pixel spx3 in the pixel unit on the base substrate 100;
[0181] Between two adjacent pixel units along the first direction X, there is a first initialization signal line Vinit1 or a second initialization signal line Vinit2 or a first reference voltage signal line Vref1 or a second power signal line VSS.
[0182] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG14 and FIG15 , the first initialization signal line Vinit1 , the second initialization signal line Vinit2 , the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 , and the second power signal line VSS are alternately arranged along the first direction X.
[0183] Illustratively, the present disclosure can further reduce the power consumption of the pixel circuit and improve the stability of the current and voltage of the pixel circuit by setting the first initialization signal line Vinit1, the second initialization signal line Vinit2, the first reference voltage signal line Vref1 and the second power signal line VSS as a grid wiring, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel.
