The first electrode of the light-emitting unit can be the anode of the light-emitting unit, and the second electrode of the light-emitting unit can be the cathode of the light-emitting unit. The second transistor T2 may be an N-type transistor, for example, an N-type metal oxide transistor. N-type transistors have a relatively low leakage current, thereby preventing leakage of power from the node N through the second transistor T2 during the light-emitting phase. Meanwhile, the first transistor T1, the driving transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8 may be P-type transistors, for example, P-type low-temperature polysilicon transistors.

[0206] As shown in Figure 2, where G1 represents the timing of the first gate drive signal terminal G1, G2 represents the timing of the second gate drive signal terminal G2, Re2 represents the timing of the second reset signal terminal Re2, Re1 represents the timing of the first reset signal terminal Re1, and EM represents the timing of the enable signal terminal EM, a driving cycle of the pixel driving circuit may include a first reset phase t1, a second reset phase t2, a data writing phase t3, a third reset phase t4, and a light-emitting phase t5.
[0207] During the first reset phase t1, the second reset signal terminal Re2 outputs a low-level signal, the seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, the second initial signal terminal Vinit2 inputs a second initial signal to the first electrode of the light-emitting unit OLED, and the third initial signal terminal Vinit3 inputs a third initial signal to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3 to improve the hysteresis problem of the driving transistor T3.

The output current formula of the driving transistor is as follows:
[0208] I=(μWCox / 2L)(Vgs-Vth) 2
[0209] Where I is the output current of the driver transistor; μ is the carrier mobility; Cox is the gate capacitance per unit area, W is the width of the driver transistor channel, L is the length of the driver transistor channel, Vgs is the gate-source voltage difference of the driver transistor, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the driver transistor. The output current of the driver transistor in the above pixel driving circuit is I = (μWCox / 2L)(Vdata+Vth-Vdd-Vth) 2 The pixel driving circuit can avoid the influence of the driving transistor threshold on its output current.
[0210] In the related art, the gate of the second transistor T2 is prone to leakage to its source and drain. As shown in Figure 1, during the display phase, the low-level signal at the gate of the second transistor T2 is prone to leakage to node N, resulting in bright spots on the display panel. In particular, when the second transistor is an N-type transistor, the gate insulating layer between the channel region and the gate of the second transistor is relatively thin. The gate insulating layer in the second transistor is easily affected by foreign particles and has a certain degree of conductivity, which causes the gate of the second transistor T2 to leak to its source and drain.

The compensation circuit 131 is used to respond to the signal of the first gate driving signal terminal G1 to conduct the control signal terminal and the second current transmission terminal of the first driving circuit 111; the redundant circuit includes a redundant compensation circuit 132. The redundant compensation circuit 132 is connected between the control signal terminal and the current transmission terminal of one driving circuit. The redundant compensation circuit 132 is used to respond to a control signal to conduct the control signal terminal and the current transmission terminal connected thereto.
[0212] In this exemplary embodiment, when the display panel undergoes AOI (Automated Optical Inspection), if foreign particles are found between the gate and source / drain electrodes of the transistor in compensation circuit 131, the connection between the transistor channel region in compensation circuit 131 and the control signal terminal in the first driver circuit can be disconnected, and threshold compensation of the driver circuit can be achieved through redundant compensation circuit 132.
