[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for realizing different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present application. In addition, the present application may repeat reference numbers and / or reference letters in different examples, and such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

In one embodiment of a display panel, the display panel includes a panel body 1, a flexible circuit board 2 bound and connected to the panel body 1, and a circuit board 3 connected to the flexible circuit board 2 on a side away from the panel body 1. The signal on the circuit board 3 is transmitted to the binding terminal 4 through the flexible circuit board 3, and then transmitted to the GOA driving circuit 5 through the binding terminal 4, and then transmitted by the driving circuit 5 to the pixel driving circuit 6; for example, when the transmission signal is a low potential signal VGL, and the low potential signal can be multiple, such as VGL1 / VGL2, the binding terminal 4 transmits the low potential signal to the GOA driving circuit 5 through a wiring, and the GOA driving circuit 5 includes multiple cascade units, each cascade unit is connected to a row of pixel driving circuits 6; wherein the driving process of the pixel driving circuit 6 includes a data writing period T1 and holding period T2, and in the data writing period T1, the low potential signal VGL needs to be switched to a high potential so that the preset transistor in the preset pixel driving circuit 6 is turned on, and in the holding period T2, the low potential signal VGL needs to maintain a low potential so that the preset transistor remains turned off; therefore, when the pixel driving circuit 6 of this row is in the end section of the holding period T2, the pixel driving circuits 6 of other rows will be in the data writing period T1, at this time, the low potential signal VGL of other rows is switched to a high potential, so that the load of the low potential signal VGL is reduced, and the low potential signal VGL will be pulled up, that is, an upward sharp corner will appear, thereby affecting the signal transmission stability of the pixel driving circuit 6 of this row, causing the brightness of the light-emitting device driven by the pixel driving circuit 6 of this row to change, resulting in flickering and other display unevenness phenomena on the display panel.

Since there is a parasitic capacitance between the gate of the compensation transistor T03 and the gate of the driving transistor T01, when the gate potential of the compensation transistor T03 fluctuates, it will have a coupling effect on the gate potential of the driving transistor T01, so that the potential of the driving transistor T01 also changes; for example, when the pixel driving circuit 15 of this row is in the end of the holding period, the pixel driving circuits 15 of other rows are in the data writing period, which will cause the load on the first input signal line 131 and the second input signal line 132 to decrease, so that the first The potentials in the input signal line 131 and the second input signal line 132 are pulled up to form a sharp angle, which in turn causes the potential of the driving transistor T01 to be coupled and changed, causing the luminance of the pixels in this row to become lower, resulting in a change in the brightness of the pixels in this row during the holding period, that is, a decrease in the brightness of the last section, causing the display panel to flicker; however, please refer to Figures 6, 7 and 8. In the embodiment of the present application, low-level signals are input simultaneously through the first input signal line 131 and the second input signal line 132, which can improve the stability of signal transmission and the recovery ability after fluctuations. Even if the load of signal transmission changes, the embodiment of the present application can also reduce the magnitude of voltage fluctuations caused by load changes. Compared with the structure shown in Figure 1, the sharp angle A generated by the voltage NscanT3 on the gate of the compensation transistor T03 can be reduced to a sharp angle a, effectively reducing the potential fluctuation of the gate of the compensation transistor T03, and improving the signal transmission stability and the display uniformity of the display panel.

[0089] As mentioned above, under the control of the second node N2, the second transistor T2 transmits the high-level signal transmitted in the first input signal line 131 or the second input signal line 132 to the signal output terminal OUT, and then transmits it to the gate of the compensation transistor T03 in the pixel driving circuit 15 through the output signal line 16.

[0090] In other embodiments of the present application, the output signal line 16 can also be connected to the gate of the first reset transistor T04 in the pixel driving circuit 15 to load the voltage signal NscanT4 thereon, and the first reset transistor T04 is an N-type thin film transistor, and the voltage signal NscanT4 is a low level; similarly, there is a coupling capacitor between the gate of the first reset transistor T04 and the gate of the driving transistor T01.
