[0262] In at least one embodiment shown in Figure 15, the reference voltage Vref can be greater than or equal to 3V and less than or equal to 4V;

[0263] The voltage value of Vinit can be 0V, or the voltage value of Vinit can be less than 0V.

[0264] As shown in FIG16, when at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown in FIG15 of this disclosure is in operation, the display cycle may include an initialization stage S1, a compensation stage S2, a writing stage S3 and a light emission stage S4 set sequentially.

[0265] During the initialization phase S1, G2, G3, EM1, and EM2 all provide high voltage signals, G1 and EM3 both provide low voltage signals, T14, T24, and T34 are all turned on, REF provides the reference voltage Vref to N11, N21, and N31, T6 is turned on, and I1 provides the initial voltage Vinit to N12 so that DT1, DT2, and DT3 can all be turned on when the compensation phase S2 begins.

[0266] During the initialization phase, S1, T11, and T12 are all turned on, and DT1 is turned on, writing Vinit to the anode of O11 and clearing the residual charge on the anode of O11; T21 and T22 are all turned on, and DT2 is turned on, writing Vinit to the anode of O12 and clearing the residual charge on the anode of O12; T31 and T32 are all turned on, and DT3 is turned on, writing Vinit to the anode of O13 and clearing the residual charge on the anode of O13.

[0267] During the compensation phase S2, EM1 and EM3 provide high voltage signals, G2 provides a high voltage signal, G1, G3 and EM2 provide low voltage signals, T11, T21, T31 and T5 are all turned on, T14, T24 and T34 are all turned on, and REF provides a reference voltage Vref to N11, N21 and N31.

[0268] At the start of the compensation phase S2, DT1 is turned on, charging the capacitor through Vref and changing the potential of N13 until the potential of N13 becomes Vref-Vth1. Then DT1 is turned off, and Vth1 is the threshold voltage of DT1.

[0269] At the start of the compensation phase S2, DT2 is turned on, charging the capacitor through Vref and changing the potential of N23 until the potential of N23 becomes Vref-Vth2, at which point DT2 is turned off, and Vth2 is the threshold voltage of DT2.

[0270] At the start of the compensation phase S2, DT3 is turned on, charging the capacitor through Vref and changing the potential of N33 until the potential of N33 becomes Vref-Vth3, at which point DT3 is turned off, and Vth3 is the threshold voltage of DT3.

[0271] During the write phase S3, G1 provides a high voltage signal, while G2 and G3 both provide low voltage signals. EM1 and EM2 both provide low voltage signals, and EM3 provides a high voltage signal. T13 is turned on, and DL1 provides the first data voltage Vdata1 to N11. The potential of N11 changes from Vref to Vdata1. The potential of N13 is affected by the coupling of C11, causing a change in the potential of N13. Therefore, this stage determines the accuracy of the compensation. Since T11 shields the parasitic capacitance of DT1 from affecting the potential of N13, and T12 shields the parasitic capacitance of O11 from affecting N13... Due to the influence of the potential of N13, the potential of N13 is only affected by the coupling of C11. Finally, the potential of N13 becomes Vref-Vth1+(Vdata1-Vref)×C11z / (C11z+C12z). The gate-source voltage Vgs2 of DT1 is equal to (Vdata1-Vref)×(1-a1)+Vth1, where a1 is equal to C11z / (C11z+C12z), which can isolate the influence of DT1 and O11; where C11z is the capacitance value of C11 and C12z is the capacitance value of C12.

[0272] During the write phase S3, G1 provides a high voltage signal, while G2 and G3 both provide low voltage signals. EM1 and EM2 both provide low voltage signals, and EM3 provides a high voltage signal. T23 is turned on, and DL2 provides the second data voltage Vdata2 to N21. The potential of N21 changes from Vref to Vdata2. The potential of N23 is affected by the coupling of C21, causing a change in N23's potential. Therefore, this stage determines the accuracy of the compensation. Since T21 shields the parasitic capacitance of DT2 from affecting the potential of N13, and T22 shields O12 from affecting N13's potential... Due to the influence of the potential of N23, the potential of N23 is only affected by the coupling of C21. Finally, the potential of N23 becomes Vref-Vth2+(Vdata2-Vref)×C21z / (C21z+C22z). The gate-source voltage Vgs2 of DT2 is equal to (Vdata2-Vref)×(1-a2)+Vth2, where a2 is equal to C21z / (C21z+C22z), which can isolate the influence of DT2 and O21; where C21z is the capacitance value of C21 and C22z is the capacitance value of C22.

[0273] During the write phase S3, G1 provides a high voltage signal, while G2 and G3 both provide low voltage signals. EM1 and EM2 both provide low voltage signals, and EM3 provides a high voltage signal. T33 is turned on, and DL3 provides the third data voltage Vdata3 to N31. The potential of N31 changes from Vref to Vdata3. The potential of N33 is affected by the coupling of C31, causing a change in N33's potential. Therefore, this stage determines the accuracy of the compensation. Because T31 shields the parasitic capacitance of DT3 from affecting the potential of N33, and T12 shields O13 from affecting N33's potential... The potential of N33 is only affected by the coupling of C31, so the potential of N33 becomes Vref-Vth3+(Vdata3-Vref)×C31z / (C31z+C32z). The gate-source voltage Vgs3 of DT3 is equal to (Vdata3-Vref)×(1-a3)+Vth3, where a3 is equal to C31z / (C31z+C32z), which can isolate the influence of DT3 and O13; where C31z is the capacitance value of C31 and C32z is the capacitance value of C32.

[0274] During the light-emitting stage S4, G1, G2, and G3 all provide low-voltage signals, while EM1 and EM2 all provide high-voltage signals. When EM3 is turned on, T5, T11, T12, T21, T22, T31, and T32 are all turned on. DT1 drives O11 to emit light, DT2 drives O12 to emit light, and DT3 drives O13 to emit light.

[0275] During the light-emitting stage S4, the third light-emitting control signal provided by EM3 can turn T6 on or off as needed to perform PWM (pulse width modulation) dimming design.
