The second transistor T2 and the ninth transistor T9 can be N-type transistors, for example, the second transistor T2 and the ninth transistor T9 can be N-type metal oxide transistors. The N-type transistors have smaller leakage current, so that the leakage current of the node N through the ninth transistor T9 and the second transistor T2 in the light emitting stage can be reduced.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 can be P-type transistors, for example, 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 can be P-type low-temperature polysilicon transistors, the P-type transistors have high carrier mobility, thereby being beneficial to realize a high-resolution, high-response-speed, high-pixel-density and high-aperture-ratio display panel. The first initial signal terminal, the second initial signal terminal and the third initial signal terminal can output the same or different voltage signals according to actual conditions.
[0142] As shown in FIG. 3, 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. One driving period of the pixel driving circuit can include a first reset stage t1, a data writing stage t2, a second reset stage t3 and an emitting stage t4.
[0143] When the fourth gate drive signal terminal G4 turns on the ninth transistor T9:
[0144] In the first reset stage t1: the first gate drive signal terminal G1 outputs a high level, the first reset signal terminal Re1 outputs a low level signal, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, and the first initial signal terminal Vinit1 inputs the first initial signal to the node N through the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2. In the data writing stage t2: the second gate drive signal terminal G2 outputs a low level signal, the first gate drive signal terminal G1 outputs a high level signal, the fourth transistor T4 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, and the data signal terminal Da writes the compensation voltage Vdata+Vth to the node N through the fourth transistor T4 and the second transistor T2, wherein Vdata is the voltage of the data signal on the data signal terminal, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T3. In the second reset stage t3: 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 the second initial signal to the first electrode of the emitting unit L, and the third initial signal terminal Vinit3 inputs the third initial signal to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3. In the emitting stage t4: the enable signal terminal EM outputs a low level signal, the sixth transistor T6 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned on, and the driving transistor T3 drives the emitting unit to emit light under the action of the compensation voltage Vdata+Vth stored in the capacitor C. The driving transistor output current formula is as follows:
[0145] I=(μWCox / 2L)(Vgs-Vth) 2
[0146] wherein I is the output current of the driving transistor; μ is the carrier mobility; Cox is the unit area gate capacitance, W is the width of the channel of the driving transistor, L is the length of the channel of the driving transistor, Vgs is the gate-source voltage difference of the driving transistor, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor. The output current I of the driving transistor in the pixel driving circuit above is I = (μWCox / 2L)(Vdata+Vth-Vdd-Vth) 2 The pixel driving circuit can avoid the influence of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor on the output current thereof.
[0147] When the fourth gate driving signal terminal G4 turns off the ninth transistor T9: the pixel driving circuit does not write the initial signal and the new data signal to the driving transistor T3 in the scanning stage, and the gate of the driving transistor maintains the voltage of the last frame.
[0148] As shown in FIG. 4, a structural schematic diagram of an exemplary embodiment of a display panel of the present disclosure is shown. The display panel comprises a substrate, a plurality of pixel driving circuits P1-P9, a plurality of first gate lines G11-G13, a plurality of fourth gate lines G41-G43, the orthogonal projections of the plurality of pixel driving circuits on the substrate are arrayed along a first direction X and a second direction Y, the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect, for example, the first direction X can be the row direction, and the second direction Y can be the column direction; the orthogonal projection of the first gate line on the substrate extends along the first direction, and the first gate line is configured to provide a gate driving signal to the second transistor in the plurality of pixel driving circuits distributed along the first direction X; the orthogonal projection of the fourth gate line on the substrate extends along the second direction Y, and the fourth gate line is configured to provide a gate driving signal to the ninth transistor in the plurality of pixel driving circuits distributed along the second direction.
[0149] It should be noted that the display panel shown in FIG. 4 is taken as an example of nine pixel driving circuits for illustration, and it should be understood that the display panel can comprise other numbers of pixel driving circuits, and correspondingly, the display panel can comprise other numbers of first gate lines and fourth gate lines.
[0150] As shown in FIG. 4, the fourth gate line G41 controls the on-off of the ninth transistor T9 in the pixel driving circuit P1, P4, P7 distributed along the second direction Y, the fourth gate line G42 controls the on-off of the ninth transistor T9 in the pixel driving circuit P2, P5, P8 distributed along the second direction Y, and the fourth gate line G43 controls the on-off of the ninth transistor T9 in the pixel driving circuit P3, P6, P9 distributed along the second direction Y. If the fourth gate line G41, G43 controls the ninth transistor T9 in the pixel driving circuit P1, P4, P7, P3, P6, P9 to be off, the pixel driving circuit P1, P4, P7, P3, P6, P9 will not write the initial signal and the new data signal to the driving transistor T3, and the gate of the driving transistor will maintain the voltage of the last frame, and the corresponding pixel driving circuit P1, P4, P7, P3, P6, P9 can realize low-frequency display. If the fourth gate line G42 controls the ninth transistor T9 in the pixel driving circuit P2, P5, P8 to be on, the pixel driving circuit P2, P5, P8 can normally write the compensation voltage to the gate of the driving transistor. At this time, the refresh frequency of the pixel driving circuit P2, P5, P8 can be controlled by controlling the frequency of the gate driving signal output by the first gate line G11, G12, G13, for example, the first gate line G11 outputs the on signal every frame, and then the pixel driving circuit P2 will be refreshed every frame, and the first gate line G12 outputs the on signal every 3 frames, and then the pixel driving circuit P5 will be refreshed every 3 frames. This method can control the refresh frequency of different pixel driving circuits by controlling the frequency of the on signal output by the fourth gate line and the first gate line.
[0151] The display panel can also realize the control of the refresh frequency of the local area by other driving methods. For example, the frequency of the on signal output by each first gate line can be the same, and when scanning the pixel driving circuit of each row, different fourth gate lines can control the on-off of the ninth transistor T9 connected thereto to control whether the pixel driving circuit of different areas writes the data signal. For example, when the pixel driving circuit P1, P2, P3 is scanned, the fourth gate line G41 can control the ninth transistor in the pixel driving circuit P1 to be on, the fourth gate line G42 can control the ninth transistor in the pixel driving circuit P2 to be on, and the fourth gate line G43 can control the ninth transistor in the pixel driving circuit P3 to be off, so as to control the pixel driving circuit P1 to be refreshed, the pixel driving circuit P2 to be refreshed, and the pixel driving circuit P3 not to be refreshed; when the pixel driving circuit P4, P5, P6 is scanned, the fourth gate line G41 can control the ninth transistor in the pixel driving circuit P4 to be off, the fourth gate line G42 can control the ninth transistor in the pixel driving circuit P5 to be on, and the fourth gate line G43 can control the ninth transistor in the pixel driving circuit P6 to be off, so as to control the pixel driving circuit P5 to be refreshed, and the pixel driving circuit P4, P6 not to be refreshed.
[0152] It should be understood that in other example embodiments, the pixel driving circuit can also be other structures, as long as the pixel driving circuit includes the driving transistor T3, the second transistor T2, and the ninth transistor T9, the first electrode of the ninth transistor is connected to the gate of the driving transistor T3, the second electrode of the ninth transistor T9 is connected to the first electrode of the second transistor T2, and the second electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor T3. The present example embodiment can control the refresh frequency of the display panel in different regions through the on-off control of the ninth transistor T9. Among them, the second transistor T2 and the ninth transistor T9 can be P-type transistors or N-type transistors.
[0153] In addition, in other example embodiments, one or more of the first transistor T1, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8 can also be N-type transistors.
[0154] As shown in FIG. 5, a timing diagram of part of the signal lines in an example embodiment of the display panel of the present disclosure is shown. Among them, G4x is the timing diagram of the fourth gate line in the low brush area, and G4y is the timing diagram of the fourth gate line in the high brush area. In the low brush area, the fourth gate line outputs an off signal in part of the frames and outputs a conductive signal in part of the frames; in the high brush area, the fourth gate line continuously outputs a conductive signal. When the ninth transistor T9 changes from the on state to the off state, the signal on the fourth gate line will change from high to low, and under the gate-source coupling effect of the ninth transistor T9, the gate of the driving transistor will be pulled low, thereby causing the phenomenon of high brightness in the low brush area and low brightness in the high brush area.
[0155] Of course, when the ninth transistor T9 is a P-type transistor, when the ninth transistor T9 changes from the on state to the off state, the signal on the fourth gate line will change from low to high, and under the gate-source coupling effect of the ninth transistor T9, the gate of the driving transistor will be pulled high, thereby also causing the phenomenon of low brightness in the low brush area and high brightness in the high brush area.
[0156] It should be noted that the off signal is a signal for turning off the target circuit, for example, the off signal of a P-type transistor is a high-level signal, and the off signal of an N-type transistor is a low-level signal. The conductive signal is a signal for turning on the target circuit, for example, the conductive signal of a P-type transistor is a low-level signal, and the conductive signal of an N-type transistor is a high-level signal.
