Embodiments in the present disclosure and features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other in so far as there is no contradiction in combination.
[0119] In the drawings, the size, the thickness, or the region of each constituent element shown in each drawing can be exaggerated for clarity. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be construed as being limited to the size as shown in the drawings. The shape, the size, and the like of a part shown in the drawings are intended to illustrate the principle of the present disclosure and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure thereto.
[0120] In the present disclosure, ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", and "third" are used to avoid confusion among constituents, and are not intended to indicate or imply a particular order among the constituents.
[0121] In the present disclosure, words of a positional relation or a positional direction such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", and the like are used to describe the positional relation of constituents with reference to the drawings, and are used only for convenience of description and simplification of the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or the element indicated thereby must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure. The positional relation of the constituents can be appropriately changed according to the direction of the constituents described. Therefore, the words described in the present disclosure are not limited to the words described herein, and can be appropriately changed according to the situation.
[0122] In the present disclosure, unless explicitly defined and limited otherwise, the terms "mount", "connected", and "connection" are to be construed 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 member, or communication between two elements inside. The above terms can be understood in the present disclosure according to the situation by those skilled in the art.
[0123] In the present disclosure, a transistor refers to an element including at least a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. The transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (or drain terminal, drain connection region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (or source terminal, source connection region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. In the present disclosure, the channel region refers to a region through which current mainly flows.
[0124] In the present disclosure, 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. In a case where a transistor having opposite polarity is used or a case where the direction of current flowing in a circuit is changed, the functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" can be sometimes interchanged with each other. Thus, in the present disclosure, the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" can be interchanged with each other. In the present disclosure, the control electrode can be a gate electrode.
[0125] In the present disclosure, "electrically connected" includes a case where components are connected together through an element having some kind of electrical action.

Using the same type of transistors in the pixel driving circuit can simplify the process flow, reduce the process difficulty of the display panel, and improve the yield of the product.

[0140] In some examples, the first initial signal line Vinit1 can be configured to provide a first initial signal to the pixel circuit, and the second initial signal line Vinit2 can be configured to provide a second initial signal to the pixel circuit. For example, the first initial signal can be different from the second initial signal.

[0142] In the example embodiment, different frequencies are used under different pictures, which can improve power consumption to a certain extent. In high-precision frequency conversion technology, there are cases where multiple resets are required under one frame of picture. The load (resistance) of the initial signal supply line Vinit0 at the multiple reset positions is different, which causes one or more horizontal lines to appear on the screen. Therefore, it is very important to reduce the load of the initial signal supply line Vinit0.
