Therefore, it is not limited to the words described in the specification, and can be appropriately changed according to the situation.
[0134] In the present specification, unless specifically defined and limited otherwise, the terms "mount", "connected", "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate piece, or the communication inside two elements. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the specific circumstances by those skilled in the art.
[0135] In this specification, a transistor means an element including at least three terminals of a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. The transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (a drain electrode terminal, a drain region, or a drain electrode) and the source electrode (a source electrode terminal, a source region, or a source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that, in this specification, the channel region means a region where current flows mainly.
[0136] In this specification, the first electrode can be a drain electrode and the second electrode can be a source electrode, or the first electrode can be a source electrode and the second electrode can be a drain electrode. The functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" are sometimes interchanged with each other in the case of using a transistor whose polarity is reversed or in the case where the direction of current flowing in a circuit is changed, for example. Therefore, the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" can be interchanged with each other in this specification.
[0137] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes the case where components are connected through an element having some function of electricity. The element having some function of electricity is not particularly limited as long as electric signals can be transmitted and received between components to be connected. Examples of the element having some function of electricity include not only an electrode and a wiring but also a switching element such as a transistor, a resistor, an inductor, a capacitor, and another element having some function.
[0138] In this specification, "parallel" means a state where an angle formed between two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than or equal to 10°, and thus a state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than or equal to 5° is also included. In addition, "perpendicular" means a state where an angle formed between two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than or equal to 100°, and thus a state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than or equal to 95° is also included.
[0139] In this specification, a "film" and a "layer" can be interchanged with each other. For example, a "conductive layer" can be replaced with a "conductive film". Similarly, an "insulating film" can be replaced with an "insulating layer".
[0140] In this specification, "about" means not strictly limited to a limit, and allows a range of values within a process and measurement error.
[0141] In an OLED display product, the compensation process of the pixel driving circuit often occurs with the data writing process, so that the compensation time of the pixel driving circuit is short, which reduces the reliability of the pixel driving circuit.

The second transistor T2, the fifth transistor T5, and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, and the signal of the first power line VDD is written to the first node N1 through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, the second node N2, the turned-on third transistor T3, the third node N3, the turned-on second transistor T2, the fifth node N5, and the turned-on eighth transistor T8, until the voltage value of the signal at the first node N1 satisfies V...

[0215] The first transistor Tl is turned on, the signal of the first initial signal line INIT1 is written to the fifth node N5, and the first node Nl keeps the signal of the last stage because the eighth transistor T8 is turned off and is not affected by the signal of the fifth node N5. The ninth transistor T9 is turned on, the signal of the second reference signal line REF is written to the second node N2, and the signal of the second reference signal line written to the second node N2 in this stage can bias the third transistor T3 so that the third transistor T3 is in a bias state because the voltage value of the signal of the first node Nl is Vdd+Vth+α(Vdata-Vrefl).

[0219] In the driving process of the pixel driving circuit, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (a driving transistor) of each pixel driving circuit is determined by the voltage difference between the gate electrode and the second electrode thereof. Because the voltage of the signal of the first node Nl satisfies V N1 =Vdd+Vth+α(Vdata-Vrefl), the voltage of the signal of the second node N2 satisfies V N2 =Vdd.
[0220] Thus, the driving current I of the third transistor T3 is:
[0221] I = K * (Vgs - Vth) 2
[0222] = K * [Vdd + Vth + a (Vdata - Vrefl) - Vdd - Vth] 2
[0223] = K * [a (Vdata - Vrefl)] 2
[0224] Wherein, I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, that is, the driving current of the light emitting device L, K is a constant related to the process and design of the pixel driving circuit, and Vgs is the voltage difference between the control electrode and the first electrode of the third transistor T3.

Since the eighth transistor T8 is turned off, the first node N1 keeps the signal of the last stage and is not affected by the signal of the fifth node N5. The ninth transistor T9 is turned on, and the signal of the second reference signal line REF is written to the second node N2. Since the voltage value of the signal of the first node N1 is Vdd+Vth+ a (Vdata-Vrefl), the signal of the second reference signal line written to the second node N2 in this stage can bias the third transistor T3, so that the third transistor T3 is in a bias state. The tenth transistor T10 is turned on, and the signal of the second initial signal line INIT2 is written to the sixth node N6, which initializes the sixth node N6 and clears the charge of the sixth node N6.
[0229] In the seventh stage P7, the signals of the first scan signal line Gate1, the second scan signal line Gate2 and the third scan signal line Gate3 are high level signals, and the signals of the fourth scan signal line Gate4, the fifth scan signal line Gate5, the first light-emitting signal line EM1 and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 are low level signals.

[0231] According to the working process of the pixel driving circuit, it can be known that the threshold compensation stage and the data writing stage of the pixel driving circuit provided by the present disclosure are independently set, and the time of threshold compensation depends on the time length of the first time period in which the first light-emitting signal line is an effective level signal. The pixel driving circuit provided by the present disclosure can prolong the threshold compensation time of the pixel driving circuit, so that the threshold compensation is more sufficient.

The "layer" after the patterning process contains at least one "pattern". The "A and B are disposed in the same layer" in the present disclosure means that A and B are formed at the same time by one patterning process.
