[0087] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the technical solutions of this application, but not all of them. Based on the embodiments described in this application document, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the technical solutions of this application.
[0088] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present invention and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, such that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be practiced using orders other than those illustrated or described herein.
[0089] In related technologies, pixel driver circuits typically use a combination of current control and duration control to achieve image display. Current control utilizes current magnitude to achieve different grayscales, specifically by controlling the conversion current magnitude of the driver transistor via voltage. However, during current control, the smaller the light-emitting device, the more unstable its color coordinates become at low currents, leading to inconsistent image quality at low grayscales. Duration control ensures that the light-emitting device operates under stable, high-current conditions, achieving low grayscales by controlling the duration of the driver transistor, etc. However, controlling the duration of the light-emitting device remains a major challenge.
[0090] Moreover, when the display screen is converted from high grayscale to low grayscale, that is, when the current control mode is switched to the duration control mode, the display screen has a large color difference before and after the transition due to the large current difference, and the color of the display panel is uneven during the grayscale transition.
[0091] The working process of a conventional pixel driving circuit in the related art is described in detail below. Referring to Figure 1, the conventional pixel driving circuit includes a first switching transistor T1, a second switching transistor T2, a driving transistor T3, a fourth switching transistor T4, a fifth switching transistor T5, a sixth switching transistor T6, a seventh switching transistor T7, an eighth switching transistor T8, a ninth switching transistor T9, a tenth switching transistor T10, an eleventh switching transistor T11, a twelfth switching transistor T12, a capacitor 1 and a capacitor 2.
[0092] When the reset signal is valid, the first switch transistor T1 supplies the initialization signal vinit to the gate of the driving transistor T3, thereby resetting the gate. The second switch transistor T2 supplies the initialization signal vinit to the anode of the light-emitting device, thereby resetting the anode of the light-emitting device. When the data signal is valid, the data signal reaches the gate of the driving transistor T3 via the fourth switch transistor T4, the driving transistor T3, and the fifth switch transistor T5, thereby implementing the writing of the data voltage. Furthermore, during the light-emitting phase, the sixth switch transistor T6, the seventh switch transistor T7, and the eighth switch transistor T8 are turned on, and the current generated by the data voltage causes the light-emitting device to emit light.
[0093] It should be noted that the eighth switch transistor T8 has a gating function. When a high-grayscale image is to be displayed, the ninth switch transistor T9, the tenth switch transistor T10, and the capacitor 1 act to keep the eighth switch transistor T8 constantly on. Alternatively, when a low-grayscale image is to be displayed, the eleventh switch transistor T11, the twelfth switch transistor T12, and the capacitor 2 act to keep the eighth switch transistor T8 intermittently on in response to the hf signal.
[0094] In addition, the turn-on voltage in the currently commonly used PMOS pixel driver circuit is negative, while the commonly used driver IC can only output positive voltage. Therefore, the entire voltage range needs to be adjusted to positive voltage, resulting in excessively high data voltage, high driver IC power consumption and difficulty in selection.
[0095] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0096] 2 , a pixel driving circuit proposed in an embodiment of the present application includes: a control circuit 1 , a pixel circuit 2 and a light emitting device L.
[0097] The control circuit 1 is coupled to the anode of the light emitting device L, and is configured to generate a first current input to the anode of the light emitting device L according to a first data voltage.
[0098] The pixel circuit 2 is coupled to the anode of the light emitting device L, and is configured to generate a second current input to the anode of the light emitting device L according to the second data voltage.
[0099] The light emitting device L is configured to emit light under the combined effect of the first current and the second current.
[0100] It should be noted that the pixel driving circuit in the present application consists of three parts: a control circuit 1, a pixel circuit 2 and a light-emitting device L. The current of the light-emitting device L in the light-emitting stage is the result of the combined action of the first current generated by the control circuit 1 and the second current generated by the pixel circuit 2. Compared with the second current generated by the pixel circuit 2, the first current generated by the control circuit 1 has a smaller value. The combined action of the above-mentioned first current and second current realizes a smooth transition between high grayscale display and low grayscale display of the display panel.
[0101] In an embodiment of the present application, in order to write the first data voltage into the first driving transistor DT1 of the control circuit 1 and write the second data voltage into the second driving transistor DT2 of the pixel circuit 2, three data voltage writing situations are proposed in the embodiment of the present application: the first situation: the first data voltage and the second data voltage are independently written into the first driving transistor DT1 and the second driving transistor DT2 respectively; the second situation: the first data voltage and the second data voltage are superimposed and multiplexed in timing to write into the first driving transistor DT1 and the second driving transistor DT2 in a time-sharing manner; the third situation: the first data voltage and the second data voltage are synchronously written into the first driving transistor DT1 and the second driving transistor DT2 during the above-mentioned light-emitting phase. The writing situation of the first data voltage in the control circuit 1 is first described in detail below.
[0102] It should be noted that, in the first case, the first data signal terminal Data1 providing the first data voltage and the second data signal terminal Data2 providing the second data voltage are independent; in the second and third cases, the first data signal terminal Data1 providing the first data voltage and the third data signal terminal Data3 providing the second data voltage are time-division multiplexed.
[0103] The control circuit 1 in the present application is first introduced below. Referring to FIG. 3 , the control circuit 1 includes: a first driving transistor DT1 , a first data writing sub-circuit 10 and a duration control sub-circuit 11 .
[0104] The first data writing sub-circuit 10 is coupled to the gate of the first driving transistor DT1 and is configured to provide a first data voltage to the gate of the first driving transistor DT1 in response to a signal of the first scan control terminal Gate_1 .
[0105] A second terminal of the first driving transistor DT1 is coupled to the anode of the light emitting device L via the duration control sub-circuit 11 , and is configured to generate a first driving current according to the first data voltage.
[0106] The duration control subcircuit 11 is coupled to the anode of the light emitting device L and is configured to generate a first current according to the first driving current in response to a signal of the duration control terminal HF and provide the first current to the anode of the light emitting device L.
[0107] During implementation, when the signal of the first scan control terminal Gate_1 is a valid signal, the first data writing sub-circuit 10 provides the first data voltage to the gate of the first driving transistor DT1, and the first driving transistor DT1 further generates a first driving current according to the first data voltage. When the signal of the duration control terminal HF is a valid signal, the duration control sub-circuit 11 generates a first current according to the first driving current and provides the first current to the anode of the light-emitting device L, so that the light-emitting device L obtains the first current.
[0108] The following is a detailed description of each transistor in the control circuit 1 with reference to the accompanying drawings. For example, referring to FIG7 , the duration control subcircuit 11 includes: a first transistor M1.
[0109] The connection relationship between the first transistor M1 and other components is: the control end of the first transistor M1 is coupled to the time control end HF, the first end of the first transistor M1 is coupled to the second end of the first driving transistor DT1, and the second end of the first transistor M1 is coupled to the anode of the light-emitting device L.
[0110] During implementation, when the duration control terminal HF is at a low level, the first transistor M1 is turned on, and the first drive current generated by the first drive transistor DT1 flows to the anode of the light-emitting device L through the turned-on first transistor M1. It should be noted that the signal of the above-mentioned duration control terminal HF is usually a pulse signal with a settable duty cycle. Therefore, when the above-mentioned first drive current flows through the first transistor M1, it will become a first current with a value smaller than the first drive current.
[0111] Corresponding to the first case, referring to FIG. 7 , the first data writing sub-circuit 10 includes a second transistor M2 and a third transistor M3 .
[0112] The connection relationship between the second transistor M2 and other components is: the control end of the second transistor M2 is coupled to the first scan control end Gate_1, the first end of the second transistor M2 is coupled to the second end of the first driving transistor DT1, and the second end of the second transistor M2 is coupled to the gate of the first driving transistor DT1.
[0113] During implementation, when the first scan control terminal Gate_1 is at a low level, the second transistor M2 is turned on, and the first data signal terminal Data1 providing the first data voltage is connected to the second terminal of the first driving transistor DT1 via the turned-on second transistor M2.
[0114] The connection relationship between the third transistor M3 and other components is: the control end of the third transistor M3 is coupled to the first scan control end Gate_1, the first end of the third transistor M3 is coupled to the first end of the first driving transistor DT1, and the second end of the third transistor M3 is coupled to the first data signal end Data1.
[0115] During implementation, when the first scan control terminal Gate_1 is at a low level, the third transistor M3 is turned on, and the first data signal terminal Data1, which provides the first data voltage, is connected to the first terminal of the first drive transistor DT1 via the turned-on third transistor M3. In this way, the first data voltage can be provided to the gate of the first drive transistor DT1 via the turned-on third transistor M3, the first drive transistor DT1, and the second transistor M2, thereby achieving the writing of the first data voltage.
[0116] Corresponding to the second situation, referring to FIG. 11 , the first data writing sub-circuit 10 includes: a fourth transistor M4 .
[0117] The connection relationship between the fourth transistor M4 and other components is: the control end of the fourth transistor M4 is coupled to the first scan control end Gate_1, the first end of the fourth transistor M4 is coupled to the second end of the first driving transistor DT1, and the second end of the fourth transistor M4 is coupled to the gate of the first driving transistor DT1.
[0118] During implementation, when the first scan control terminal Gate_1 is at a low level, the fourth transistor M4 is turned on, and the first data signal terminal Data1 providing the first data voltage is connected to the gate of the first driving transistor DT1 through the turned-on first driving transistor DT1 and the fourth transistor M4, thereby providing the first data voltage to the gate of the first driving transistor DT1.

[0121] During implementation, when the second scan control terminal Gate_2 is at a low level, the fifth transistor M5 is turned on, and the first data voltage is provided to the first capacitor C1 through the turned-on fifth transistor M5, that is, the first data voltage is stored through the first capacitor C1, and the second end of the above-mentioned first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the first power supply terminal LVDD. It should be supplemented that, referring to Figures 13 and 14, in other embodiments, the second end of the above-mentioned first capacitor C1 can also be electrically connected to the second power supply terminal VSS and the initialization signal terminal VinitVinit, so as to maintain the stability of the second end of the first capacitor C1.
[0122] During implementation, the first capacitor C1 is used to pre-store a first data voltage provided to the first driving transistor DT1. Thus, the first capacitor C1 can be used to provide the first data voltage to the gate of the first driving transistor DT1 during the light-emitting phase. It should be noted that the first data voltage corresponding to the first current of the first driving transistor DT1 during the light-emitting phase corresponds to the current frame. The first data voltage provided by the first capacitor C1 is the data voltage required by the first driving transistor DT1 during the display of the next frame.
[0123] The connection relationship between the sixth transistor M6 and other components is: the control end of the sixth transistor M6 is coupled to the first scan control end Gate_1, the first end of the sixth transistor M6 is coupled to the first end of the first capacitor C1, and the second end of the sixth transistor M6 is coupled to the first end of the first driving transistor DT1.
[0124] During implementation, when the first scan control terminal Gate_1 is at a low level, the sixth transistor M6 is turned on, and the first data voltage stored in the first capacitor C1 is provided to the first terminal of the first driving transistor DT1 via the turned-on sixth transistor M6.

That is, the first data voltage is provided to the gate of the first driving transistor DT1.
[0127] In addition, in order to ensure that the first data voltage is normally written into the first driving transistor DT1 , referring to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 , the control circuit 1 further includes: a second capacitor C2 .
[0128] The connection relationship between the second capacitor C2 and other components is as follows: a first end of the second capacitor C2 is coupled to the first power supply terminal LVDD, and a second end of the second capacitor C2 is coupled to the gate of the first driving transistor DT1.
[0129] The second capacitor C2 is provided to ensure that the first data voltage continues to be provided to the light emitting control sub-circuit 21 in the next timing, and the first data voltage is first stored through the second capacitor C2 in the current timing.
[0130] In addition, in order to reset the gate of the first driving transistor DT1 after a frame of image is displayed, referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 6 , the control circuit 1 further includes a first reset sub-circuit 12 .
