Abstract
Description
Pixel circuit, driving method and display device Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a pixel circuit, a driving method, and a display device. Background Art
[0002] As the resolution and frequency of display devices increase, the solution of using data voltage to compensate for threshold voltage has encountered a driving bottleneck, and the demand for separate compensation circuits has greatly increased. Increasing the threshold voltage compensation time can improve the uniformity of the picture display. Since the LTPS (low-temperature polycrystalline silicon) process has high requirements for equipment precision, how to reduce costs has always been a difficult problem in the manufacturing process. Oxide thin-film transistors have their own low cost, high uniformity, and low leakage. Pixel circuits for oxides are urgently needed to be developed.
