[0050] 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.
[0051] 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.
[0052] 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 invention. The same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions.
[0053] 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.
[0054] In the disclosed embodiments, each sub-pixel includes a pixel circuit comprising a driver 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 driver transistor can vary. This causes variations in the current flowing through different light-emitting devices, resulting in uneven display brightness and, consequently, affecting the overall image quality.
[0055] Furthermore, if the driver transistors are defective, the display quality will also be affected. Since the material cost of the light-emitting devices in the subsequent light-emitting device manufacturing process is relatively high, if the array test (AT) is not first performed to check whether there are defects in the transistor manufacturing process, it will lead to waste of subsequent display backplane manufacturing costs and reduce production efficiency.
[0056] Therefore, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a pixel circuit, as shown in FIG1 , comprising: a light emitting device L;
[0057] 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;
[0058] The first control circuit 10 is coupled to the first node N1 and is configured to provide a signal of the reference voltage signal terminal VREF to the first node N1 in response to a signal of the first control signal terminal CS1;
[0059] a first coupling control circuit 20 coupled to the first node N1 and the gate of the driving transistor M0 and configured to stabilize the voltage of the first node N1 and the gate of the driving transistor M0;
[0060] a second coupling control circuit 30 coupled to the first node N1 and the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 and configured to stabilize the voltage of the first node N1 and the voltage of the second electrode of the driving transistor M0;
[0061] The second control circuit 40 is coupled to the gate of the driving transistor M0 and the first electrode of the driving transistor M0 and is configured to connect the gate of the driving transistor M0 and the first electrode of the driving transistor M0 in response to the signal of the second control signal terminal CS2;
[0062] The data writing circuit 50 is coupled to the gate of the driving transistor M0 and is configured to provide a data voltage signal of the data signal terminal DA to the gate of the driving transistor M0 in response to a signal of the first scan signal terminal SS1 .
[0063] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, through the mutual cooperation of the first control circuit, the first coupling control circuit, the second coupling control circuit, the second control circuit and the data writing circuit, it is possible to test the driving transistor when performing an array test (AT) before the light-emitting device preparation process, so as to determine whether the driving transistor is defective, thereby reducing the waste of display backplane manufacturing costs, that is, improving production efficiency and reducing costs.
[0064] Moreover, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, by using different paths for compensating the threshold voltage of the driving transistor and for writing the data voltage, the threshold voltage compensation of the driving transistor and the writing of the data voltage are performed separately, thereby achieving high-frequency driving and avoiding the influence of the threshold voltage drift of the driving transistor on the luminescence of the light-emitting device.

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.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 2, the initialization circuit 60 includes: a fourth transistor M4; wherein the gate of the fourth transistor M4 is coupled to the reset signal terminal RE, the first electrode of the fourth transistor M4 is coupled to the second electrode of the driving transistor M0, and the second electrode of the fourth transistor M4 is coupled to the initialization signal terminal VINIT.
[0077] Exemplarily, the fourth transistor M4 can be turned on under the control of the active level of the reset signal transmitted by the reset signal terminal RE, and can be turned off under the control of the inactive level of the reset signal. Exemplarily, the fourth transistor M4 is configured as a P-type transistor, then the active level of the reset signal is a low level, and the inactive level of the reset signal is a high level. Alternatively, the fourth transistor M4 is configured as an N-type transistor, then the active level of the reset signal is a high level, and the inactive level of the reset signal is a low level.
[0078] For example, the reference voltage signal terminal VREF and the initialization signal terminal VINIT may be loaded with the same signal, which can reduce the number of signal lines, reduce the space occupied by wiring, and simplify circuit design.
[0079] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 2, it also includes: a first light-emitting control circuit 70, coupled to the first electrode of the driving transistor M0, and configured to provide a signal from the first power supply terminal VDD to the first electrode of the driving transistor M0 in response to a signal from the first light-emitting control signal terminal EM1.

[0081] Exemplarily, the fifth transistor M5 can be turned on under the control of the active level of the first light-emitting control signal transmitted by the first light-emitting control signal terminal EM1, and can be turned off under the control of the inactive level of the first light-emitting control signal. Exemplarily, if the fifth transistor M5 is configured as a P-type transistor, the active level of the first light-emitting control signal is a low level, and the inactive level of the first light-emitting control signal is a high level.

[0083] 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.
[0084] Generally, transistors using low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) as active layers have high mobility and can be made thinner and smaller, with lower power consumption. In a specific implementation, the active layer of at least one of the transistors can be made of low-temperature polysilicon. This allows the transistor to be an LTPS transistor, thereby achieving high mobility in the pixel circuit, and allowing it to be made thinner and smaller, with lower power consumption.
[0085] 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 at least one of the transistors 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. In this way, the transistor can be configured as an oxide thin film transistor, thereby reducing leakage current in the pixel circuit.
[0086] Exemplarily, all transistors may be configured as LTPS transistors.
[0087] Alternatively, all transistors can be configured as oxide-type transistors. Since metal oxides are relatively inexpensive, there is no need to use laser equipment for crystallization.
[0088] Alternatively, some transistors may be configured as oxide-type transistors, and the remaining transistors may be configured as LTPS-type transistors.

Furthermore, the second power supply terminal VSS can be configured to load a constant second power supply voltage VSS, and the second power supply voltage VSS can generally be ground or negative. In actual applications, the specific values of the first power supply voltage VDD and the second power supply voltage VSS can be designed and determined based on the actual application environment and are not limited here.

The turned-on third transistor M3 provides the data voltage signal da at the data signal terminal DA to the first gate electrode G1 of the driving transistor M0. Consequently, the voltage Vg1 of the first gate electrode G1 of the driving transistor M0 is equal to Vda, where Vda represents the voltage of the data voltage signal da. The voltage Vs of the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 is equal to vdd-Vth.
[0101] During the light-emitting phase F4, the first transistor M1 is turned off by the low level of the first control signal cs1, the second transistor M2 is turned off by the low level of the second control signal cs2, the third transistor M3 is turned off by the low level of the first scan signal ss1, the fourth transistor M4 is turned off by the low level of the reset signal re, and the fifth transistor M5 is turned on by the high level of the first light-emitting control signal em1. The turned-on fifth transistor M5 provides the signal from the first power supply terminal VDD to the first electrode of the driving transistor M0. The driving transistor M0 generates a driving current based on the data voltage signal da. This driving current charges the anode of the light-emitting device L until the light-emitting device L stably emits light. At this time, the voltage value VL at the anode of the light-emitting device L is Vs = vdd - Vth. The voltage value Vg1 of the first gate electrode G1 of the driving transistor M0 is Vda. Therefore, the voltage difference Vgs between the first gate electrode G1 and the source electrode of the driving transistor M0 is Vda - vdd + Vth. Therefore, the driving transistor M0 operates in the saturation region, and the driving current I generated by it can be expressed as: I = K * (Vgs - Vth). 2 =K*(Vda-vdd+Vth-Vth) 2 =K*(Vda-vdd) 2 ;in, Where, μ represents the mobility of the driving transistor M0, C ox represents the capacitance per unit area of the gate insulating layer of the driving transistor M0, represents the channel width-to-length ratio of the driving transistor M0.
[0102] As can be seen from the above, the drive current I is unrelated to the threshold voltage Vth of the drive transistor M0. Therefore, the pixel circuit can solve the problem of uneven threshold voltage compensation of the drive transistor, thereby improving the display effect. In addition, the path for compensating the threshold voltage of the drive transistor is different from the path for writing the data voltage. This allows the threshold voltage compensation of the drive transistor to be performed separately from the data voltage writing. This can achieve high-frequency driving and prevent the impact of threshold voltage drift of the drive transistor on the light emission of the light-emitting device.
[0103] The following describes the array detection process of the pixel circuit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure by taking the pixel circuit shown in FIG. 2 as an example and combining it with the signal timing diagram shown in FIG. 5 .

The turned-on first transistor M1 provides the signal of the reference voltage signal terminal VREF to the first node N1, then the voltage value VN1 of the first node N1 is Vref, where Vref represents the voltage value of the signal of the reference voltage signal terminal VREF; the turned-on fifth transistor M5 provides the signal of the first power supply terminal VDD to the first electrode of the driving transistor M0, and the turned-on second transistor M2 conducts the first electrode of the driving transistor M0 with the first gate G1 of the driving transistor M0, then the voltage value Vg1 of the first gate G1 of the driving transistor M0 is vdd, where vdd represents the first power supply voltage of the first power supply terminal VDD; the turned-on fourth transistor M4 provides the signal of the initialization signal terminal VINIT to the anode of the light-emitting device L, then the voltage value VL of the anode of the light-emitting device L is Vinit, where Vinit represents the voltage value of the signal of the initialization signal terminal VINIT.
[0106] During the detection phase, the first transistor M1 is turned on by a high level of the first control signal cs1, the second transistor M2 is turned on by a high level of the second control signal cs2, the third transistor M3 is turned on by a high level of the first scan signal ss1, the fourth transistor M4 is turned off by a low level of the reset signal re, and the fifth transistor M5 is turned off by a low level of the first emission control signal em1. The turned-on first transistor M1 provides a signal from the reference voltage signal terminal VREF to the first node N1, the turned-on second transistor M2 connects the first electrode of the drive transistor M0 to the first gate G1 of the drive transistor M0, and the turned-on third transistor M3 provides a detection signal te to the first gate G1 of the drive transistor M0. The detection signal te passes through the third transistor M3, the second transistor M2, and the drive transistor M0 to the second electrode of the drive transistor M0, and is used to detect whether the third transistor M3, the second transistor M2, and the drive transistor M0 are defective. After confirming that the third transistor M3, the second transistor M2, and the drive transistor M0 are not defective, the display backplane is confirmed to enter the next manufacturing process.
[0107] For example, the existence of a voltage divider caused by the parasitic capacitance Coled of the light-emitting device L (ie, the capacitance formed by the cathode and anode of the light-emitting device L) may also affect the display effect, causing a decrease in display quality.
[0108] The present disclosure provides some other schematic diagrams of pixel circuit structures, as shown in Figure 6, which are variations 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.
[0109] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 6, it also includes: a second light-emitting control circuit 80, which is located between the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 and the light-emitting device L, and coupled to the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 and the light-emitting device L, and is configured to respond to the signal of the second light-emitting control signal terminal EM2 to turn on the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 and the light-emitting device L.
[0110] The embodiment of the present disclosure can effectively avoid voltage division of the parasitic capacitance Coled (i.e., the capacitance formed by the cathode and anode of the light-emitting device L) of the light-emitting device L by setting a second light-emitting control circuit, thereby improving the display effect and avoiding degradation of display quality.
[0111] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 7, the second light-emitting control circuit 80 includes: a sixth transistor M6; wherein the gate of the sixth transistor M6 is coupled to the second light-emitting control signal terminal EM2, the first electrode of the sixth transistor M6 is coupled to the second electrode of the driving transistor M0, and the second electrode of the sixth transistor M6 is coupled to the light-emitting device L.
[0112] Exemplarily, the sixth transistor M6 can be turned on under the control of the active level of the second light-emitting control signal transmitted by the second light-emitting control signal terminal EM2, and can be turned off under the control of the inactive level of the second light-emitting control signal. Exemplarily, if the sixth transistor M6 is configured as a P-type transistor, the active level of the second light-emitting control signal is a low level, and the inactive level of the second light-emitting control signal is a high level. Alternatively, if the sixth transistor M6 is configured as an N-type transistor, the active level of the second light-emitting control signal is a high level, and the inactive level of the second light-emitting control signal is a low level.
[0113] For example, the first light-emitting control signal terminal EM1 and the second light-emitting control signal terminal EM2 may be loaded with the same signal, which can reduce the number of signal lines, reduce the space occupied by wiring, and simplify circuit design.
[0114] The following describes the working process of the pixel circuit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure by taking the pixel circuit shown in FIG. 2 as an example and combining it with the signal timing diagram shown in FIG. 8 .

[0116] Furthermore, a reset phase F1 , a threshold compensation phase F2 , a data writing phase F3 and a light emitting phase F4 in one display frame are selected.

The conductive fifth transistor M5 provides the signal of the first power supply terminal VDD to the first electrode of the driving transistor M0; the conductive sixth transistor M6 connects the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 to the anode of the light-emitting device L; the conductive first transistor M1 provides the signal of the reference voltage signal terminal VREF to the first node N1, then the voltage value VN1 of the first node N1 is Vref, the first capacitor C1 stabilizes the voltage of the first node N1 and the voltage of the first gate G1 of the driving transistor M0; the second capacitor C2 stabilizes the voltage of the first node N1 and the voltage of the second electrode of the driving transistor M0, and completes compensation for the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor M0 in a source follower manner, then, the voltage value Vg1 of the first gate G1 of the driving transistor M0 is vdd, and the voltage value Vs of the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 is vdd-Vth.
[0119] In the data writing stage F3, the first transistor M1 is turned on under the control of the high level of the first control signal cs1, the second transistor M2 is turned off under the control of the low level of the second control signal cs2, the third transistor M3 is turned on under the control of the high level of the first scan signal ss1, the fourth transistor M4 is turned off under the control of the low level of the reset signal re, the fifth transistor M5 is turned off under the control of the low level of the first light-emitting control signal em1, and the sixth transistor M6 is turned off under the control of the low level of the second light-emitting control signal em2. The turned-on first transistor M1 provides the signal of the reference voltage signal terminal VREF to the first node N1, the first capacitor C1 stabilizes the voltage of the first node N1 and the voltage of the first gate G1 of the driving transistor M0, the second capacitor C2 stabilizes the voltage of the first node N1 and the voltage of the second electrode of the driving transistor M0, and the turned-on third transistor M3 provides the data voltage signal da of the data signal terminal DA to the first gate G1 of the driving transistor M0. Then, the voltage value Vg1 of the first gate G1 of the driving transistor M0 is Vda, where Vda represents the voltage value of the data voltage signal da, and the voltage value Vs of the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 is vdd-Vth.
[0120] In the light-emitting phase F4, the first transistor M1 is turned off by the low level of the first control signal cs1, the second transistor M2 is turned off by the low level of the second control signal cs2, the third transistor M3 is turned off by the low level of the first scan signal ss1, the fourth transistor M4 is turned off by the low level of the reset signal re, the fifth transistor M5 is turned on by the high level of the first light-emitting control signal em1, and the sixth transistor M6 is turned on by the high level of the second light-emitting control signal em2. The turned-on fifth transistor M5 provides the signal from the first power supply terminal VDD to the first electrode of the driving transistor M0, and the turned-on sixth transistor M6 connects the second electrode of the driving transistor M0 to the anode of the light-emitting device L. The driving transistor M0 generates a driving current based on the data voltage signal da, which charges the anode of the light-emitting device L until the light-emitting device L stably emits light. At this time, the voltage value VL at the anode of the light-emitting device L is VL = Vs = vdd - Vth. The voltage value of the first gate G1 of the driving transistor M0 is Vg1 = Vda. Therefore, the voltage difference between the first gate G1 and the source of the driving transistor M0 is Vgs = Vda - vdd + Vth. The driving transistor M0 operates in the saturation region, and the driving current I generated by it can be expressed as: I = K * (Vgs - Vth). 2 =K*(Vda-vdd+Vth-Vth) 2 =K*(Vda-vdd) 2 ;in, Where, μ represents the mobility of the driving transistor M0, C ox represents the capacitance per unit area of the gate insulating layer of the driving transistor M0, represents the channel width-to-length ratio of the driving transistor M0.
[0121] As can be seen from the above, the drive current I is unrelated to the threshold voltage Vth of the drive transistor M0. Therefore, the pixel circuit can solve the problem of uneven threshold voltage compensation of the drive transistor, thereby improving the display effect. In addition, the path for compensating the threshold voltage of the drive transistor is different from the path for writing the data voltage. This allows the threshold voltage compensation of the drive transistor to be performed separately from the data voltage writing. This can achieve high-frequency driving and prevent the impact of threshold voltage drift of the drive transistor on the light emission of the light-emitting device.
[0122] For example, since the first power supply terminal VDD is prone to voltage drop (IR Drop), the first power supply voltage vdd of the first power supply terminal VDD is uneven, thereby affecting the display effect and causing the display quality to deteriorate.
[0123] The present disclosure provides some structural diagrams of pixel circuits, as shown in Figure 9, which are modified from the implementation of the above embodiment. The following only describes the differences between this embodiment and the above embodiment, and the similarities are not repeated here.
[0124] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG9 , it further includes: a reset circuit 90, which is configured to provide a signal of the initialization signal terminal VINIT to the cathode of the light-emitting device L in response to a signal of the reset signal terminal RE; wherein the reset circuit 90 includes: a seventh transistor M7; the gate of the seventh transistor M7 is coupled to the reset signal terminal RE, the first electrode of the seventh transistor M7 is coupled to the cathode of the light-emitting device L, and the second electrode of the seventh transistor M7 is coupled to the initialization signal terminal VINIT. In addition, the anode of the light-emitting device L is coupled to the first power supply terminal VDD, and the cathode of the light-emitting device L is coupled to the first electrode of the fifth transistor M5. This arrangement can avoid the situation where a voltage drop (IR Drop) occurs at the first power supply terminal VDD, resulting in uneven first power supply voltage vdd, which causes a decrease in display quality and poor display effect.
[0125] Alternatively, as shown in FIG10 , the anode of the light-emitting device L is coupled to the first power supply terminal VDD, and the cathode of the light-emitting device L is coupled to the first electrode of the fifth transistor M5. The first electrode of the fourth transistor M4 in the initialization circuit 60 is coupled to the cathode of the light-emitting device L. This arrangement can avoid a voltage drop (IR drop) at the first power supply terminal VDD, which causes uneven first power supply voltage VDD and thus degrades display quality and poor display effects.
[0126] For example, the voltage drop problem in the pixel circuit can be improved by inverting the light-emitting device L, or by graphing the second power supply terminal VSS, or by arranging the anodes of the light-emitting device L in a grid pattern, thereby improving the display effect.
