Abstract
Description
Driving method, driving module and display device Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a driving method, a driving module, and a display device. Background Technology
[0002] To further improve the power consumption of mobile display products, tandem devices are used (tandem devices are high-efficiency OLED devices formed by connecting and stacking multiple OLED (organic light-emitting diode) devices in series with conductive layers). This reduces the current flowing through the tandem device while achieving the same brightness, thus lowering power consumption. However, the introduction of tandem devices introduces greater crosstalk, requiring isolation designs to reduce its impact. But this isolation design leads to short circuits between the conductive layer and the cathode at the isolation points, resulting in abnormal light emission paths at low grayscale levels. Furthermore, the increased crosstalk from the dual-layer devices causes these abnormal paths to also emit light, resulting in low-grayscale ghosting and brightening issues.

[0081] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0082] In all embodiments of this disclosure, the transistors used can be thin-film transistors, field-effect transistors, or other devices with similar characteristics. In the embodiments of this disclosure, to distinguish the two terminals of the transistor other than the gate, one terminal is referred to as the first terminal and the other as the second terminal.
[0083] In actual operation, when the transistor is a thin-film transistor or a field-effect transistor, the first electrode can be the drain and the second electrode can be the source; or, the first electrode can be the source and the second electrode can be the drain.
[0084] The driving method described in this embodiment is applied to a pixel circuit, which includes a driving circuit, a first light-emitting control circuit, a light-emitting element, and a first reset circuit. The first light-emitting control circuit, under the control of a light-emitting control signal provided by a light-emitting control terminal, controls the connection or disconnection between a first terminal of the driving circuit and a first electrode of the light-emitting element. The first reset circuit, under the control of a first reset control signal provided by a first reset control terminal, controls the connection or disconnection between a first initial voltage terminal and the first electrode of the light-emitting element. The second electrode of the light-emitting element is electrically connected to the first voltage terminal.
[0085] The display cycle includes N display sub-cycles. The nth display sub-cycle includes the nth preparation light-emitting stage and the nth light-emitting stage, which are set sequentially. N is an integer greater than 1, and n is a positive integer less than or equal to N. The nth preparation light-emitting stage includes at least one reset time period.
[0086] The driving method includes:
[0087] During the nth light-emitting stage, the first light-emitting control circuit, under the control of the light-emitting control signal, controls the first terminal of the driving circuit to disconnect from the first electrode of the light-emitting element;
[0088] During the reset time period, under the control of the first reset control signal, the first reset circuit writes the first initial voltage provided by the first initial voltage terminal into the first electrode of the light-emitting element;
[0089] During at least a portion of the time period included in the nth luminescence stage, the first luminescence control circuit, under the control of the luminescence control signal, controls the first terminal of the driving circuit to connect with the first electrode of the luminescence element;
[0090] When the luminance of the light-emitting element is less than or equal to the luminance threshold during the display cycle, the time interval between the start time of the first reset time period and the end time of the nth preparation light-emitting stage is set to be greater than the pre-charge time threshold during the nth preparation light-emitting stage.
[0091] In the driving method described in this embodiment, when the luminance of the light-emitting element is less than or equal to a luminance threshold during the display cycle, in the nth preparation light-emitting stage, the time interval between the start time of the first reset time period and the end time of the nth preparation light-emitting stage is set to be greater than the pre-charging time threshold, so as to increase the pre-charging time for pre-charging the first electrode of the light-emitting element with the first initial voltage, so that the light-emitting element can light up normally and improve the problem of ghosting.
[0092] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure,
[0093] During the nth light-emitting stage, the first light-emitting control circuit, under the control of the control signal, controls the first terminal of the driving circuit to disconnect from the first electrode of the light-emitting element, so as to control the light-emitting element not to emit light.
[0094] During at least a portion of the time period included in the nth luminescence stage, the first luminescence control circuit, under the control of the luminescence control signal, controls the first terminal of the driving circuit to connect with the first electrode of the luminescence element, so that the driving circuit can drive the luminescence element to emit light.
[0095] At least one embodiment of this disclosure can be applied to mobile phones, automotive display products, foldable display products, and large-size display products.
[0096] Optionally, the display period can be one frame.
[0097] Optionally, the pre-charge time threshold is greater than or equal to 20 lines of scan time but less than the duration of the nth preparation emission stage.
[0098] Optionally, the brightness threshold is less than or equal to 150 nits. For example, the brightness threshold can be 60 nits, 65 nits, 70 nits, 75 nits, 80 nits, 90 nits, 100 nits, 110 nits, or 120 nits, but is not limited thereto. In specific implementation, the brightness threshold can be selected according to the actual situation.
[0099] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the brightness threshold may be greater than or equal to 40 nits and less than or equal to 150 nits, but is not limited thereto.
[0100] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the light-emitting element can be a multilayer series light-emitting element, for example, the light-emitting element can be a double-layer series light-emitting element.
[0101] Optionally, the light-emitting element can be a tandem device. A tandem device is a series-connected light-emitting element. A tandem device is a high-efficiency OLED device structure formed by connecting and stacking multiple OLED (organic light-emitting diode) devices in series through a conductive layer.
[0102] As shown in Figure 1, L1 is a dual-layer OLED connected in series. L1 includes two OLEDs connected in series. The light-emitting layers of the two OLEDs connected in series each have capacitance. At low brightness / low grayscale, the equivalent internal resistance of L1 is large, close to the resistance of the short circuit of the conductive layer. This causes the current to pass through the first path LJ1, the second path LJ2, and the third path LJ3 simultaneously. The higher the proportion of the current flowing through the second path LJ2, the higher the brightness (the second path LJ2 is a micro-short circuit path and does not need to fill the capacitor. At this time, the current is large, resulting in high brightness). Since the green light-emitting element needs to fill the larger capacitor, the overshoot current of the green light-emitting element is the largest, and the brightness is the largest, resulting in a greenish tint.
[0103] In Figure 1, C1 is the first capacitor, C2 is the second capacitor, R1 is the first resistor, R2 is the second resistor, R3 is the third resistor, C3 is the third capacitor, and LC is the crosstalk OLED (the crosstalk OLED can be a green OLED).
[0104] LJ1 is the normal light-emitting path, LJ2 is the short-circuit path (the short-circuit path is the isolation trench micro-short-circuit path between the conductive layer of the two interconnected OLEDs and the cathode of L1), LJ3 is the crosstalk path, and LJ2 and LJ3 are abnormal light-emitting paths.
[0105] In Figure 1, the one labeled V1 is the power supply.
[0106] Based on the above problems, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, when the luminous brightness of the light-emitting element is less than or equal to the brightness threshold during the display cycle, in the nth preparation light-emitting stage, the time interval between the start time of the first reset time period and the end time of the nth preparation light-emitting stage is set to be greater than the pre-charging time threshold. By increasing the pre-charging time of the first electrode of the light-emitting element, the normal light-emitting path can be lit up better, thus improving the problem of ghosting and brightening.

[0114] During the reset time period, under the control of the second reset control signal, the second reset circuit writes the second initial voltage provided by the second initial voltage terminal into the reset terminal of the drive circuit.
[0115] In a specific implementation, the pixel circuit may further include a second reset circuit. During the reset period, under the control of the second reset control signal, the second reset circuit writes the second initial voltage provided by the second initial voltage terminal into the reset terminal of the driving circuit. The reset terminal of the driving circuit includes the first terminal and / or the second terminal of the driving circuit, so as to improve the hysteresis phenomenon of the driving transistor included in the driving circuit and improve the image retention problem.
[0116] Optionally, the first reset control terminal and the second reset control terminal are the same control terminal to reduce the number of control terminals used.

[0138] In specific implementation, each light-emitting stage may include a reset time period. The nth light-emitting stage may include the nth reset time period. When the light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting element is less than or equal to the brightness threshold during the display cycle, the time interval between the start time of the nth reset time period and the end time of the nth light-emitting stage is greater than the pre-charging time threshold. This is to increase the pre-charging time of the first electrode of the light-emitting element during low-brightness display and improve the problem of ghosting and brightness.
[0139] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the nth light-emitting preparation stage includes an nth first reset time period and an nth second reset time period set sequentially; the driving method includes:

The nth light-emitting stage may include a first reset time period and a second reset time period set sequentially. When the light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting element is less than or equal to the brightness threshold during the display cycle, the time interval between the start time of the nth first reset time period and the end time of the nth light-emitting stage is set to be greater than the pre-charging time threshold, and the number of times the first electrode of the light-emitting element is reset is increased. In low-brightness display, the pre-charging time of the first electrode of the light-emitting element is increased to improve the problem of ghosting and brightening.
[0143] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, N is less than or equal to a threshold number of emission times.
[0144] In related technologies, N can be equal to 12. However, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, reducing N can help to increase the pre-charging time of the first electrode of the light-emitting element before emitting light in each display sub-cycle. For example, N can be equal to 3, 4, or 6, but is not limited thereto.

[0166] In at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown in Figure 8, T5 is an n-type transistor, and T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, T6 and T7 are all p-type transistors. The pixel circuit is an LTPO (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) pixel circuit.
[0167] In at least one embodiment shown in Figure 8, the first reset control terminal and the second reset control terminal are the same control terminal, the first voltage terminal can be a low voltage terminal, and the second voltage terminal can be a power supply voltage terminal.
[0168] When at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown in Figure 8 is in operation, one frame time may include three display sub-cycles, and each display sub-cycle may include a preparation light-emitting stage and a light-emitting stage set sequentially.
[0169] As shown in Figure 9, the first display sub-cycle includes a first pre-light-emitting stage SZ1 and a first light-emitting stage SE1 set sequentially; the first pre-light-emitting stage SZ1 includes a first reset time period SR1;
[0170] During the first reset time period SR1, RH provides a low voltage signal, T1 and T3 are turned on, I1 provides a first initial voltage Vinit1 to the anode of O1 to clear the residual charge on the anode of O1 and precharge the anode of O1, and I2 provides a second initial voltage Vinit2 to N2 to improve the hysteresis phenomenon of T0 and improve the afterimage.
[0171] In the first pre-light-emitting stage SZ1, EM provides a high voltage signal, T2 and T4 are turned off, VDD is disconnected from N2, and N3 is disconnected from the anode of O1, thus disconnecting the light-emitting path;
[0172] In the first light-emitting stage SE1, EM provides a low voltage signal, T2 and T4 are turned on, VDD is connected to N2, and N3 is connected to the anode of O1, so that T0 can drive O1 to emit light;
[0173] During this frame time, the luminance of O1 is less than or equal to 75 nits. The time interval between the start time of the first reset time period SR1 and the end time of the first light-up preparation stage SZ1 is set to 895H. This is to increase the pre-charging time of the anode of O1 before the first light-up stage SE1, increase the lighting speed of the first path, increase the light emission of the normal display path, thereby reducing the influence of abnormal display paths (abnormal display paths include the second and third paths) and improving the problem of ghosting and brightening. Here, 1H is the scanning time of one line.
[0174] As shown in Figure 9, the duration of the first light-emitting stage SZ1 is 916H, the duration of the first reset time period SR1 is 4H, the duration of the first light-emitting stage SE1 is 92H, and the time interval between the start time of the first light-emitting stage SZ1 and the start time of the first reset time period SR1 is 21H.
[0175] As shown in Figure 10, when at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown in Figure 8 is working, the first light-emitting stage SZ1 may include a first initialization time period SC1 and a first write time period SX1 set sequentially, and the first reset time period SR1 may be set after the first write time period SX1.
[0176] During the first initialization period SC1, EM provides a high voltage signal, GN provides a high voltage signal, RP provides a low voltage signal, GP provides a high voltage signal, RH provides a high voltage signal, T5 is turned on, T7 is turned on, and I3 provides a third initial voltage Vinit3 to N1 so that T0 can be turned on when the first write period SX1 begins.
[0177] During the first write time period SX1, EM provides a high voltage signal, GN provides a high voltage signal, RP provides a high voltage signal, GP provides a low voltage signal, RH provides a high voltage signal, T5 is enabled, T6 is enabled, and DL provides the data voltage Vdata to N2;
[0178] At the start of the first write time period SX1, T0 is turned on, and Vdata charges Cst through T6, T0 and T5, changing the potential of N1 until the potential of N1 becomes Vdata+Vth, at which point T0 is turned off to perform data voltage writing and threshold voltage compensation; where Vth is the threshold voltage of T0.
[0179] During the first reset period SR1, EM provides a high voltage signal, GN provides a low voltage signal, RP provides a high voltage signal, GP provides a high voltage signal, RH provides a low voltage signal, T1 and T3 are turned on, and T2, T4, T5, T6 and T7 are all turned off.
[0180] As shown in Figure 11, when at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown in Figure 8 is working, one frame time may include a first display sub-cycle F1, a second display sub-cycle F2, and a third display sub-cycle F3 set sequentially; the first display sub-cycle F1 includes a first pre-light emission stage SZ1 and a first light emission stage SE1, the second display sub-cycle F2 includes a second pre-light emission stage SZ2 and a second light emission stage SE2, and the third display sub-cycle F3 includes a third pre-light emission stage SZ3 and a third light emission stage SE3;
[0181] The first pre-light emission stage SZ1 includes a first reset time period SR1, the second pre-light emission stage SZ2 includes a second reset time period SR2, and the third pre-light emission stage SZ3 includes a third reset time period SR3.
[0182] In the first pre-light emission stage SZ1, the second pre-light emission stage SZ2, and the third pre-light emission stage SZ3, EM provides a high voltage signal, T2 and T4 are turned off, VDD is disconnected from N2, and N3 is disconnected from the anode of O1.
[0183] In the first light-emitting stage SE1, the second light-emitting stage SE2, and the third light-emitting stage SE3, EM provides a low voltage signal, T2 and T4 are turned on, VDD is connected to N2, and N3 is connected to the anode of O1.
[0184] During the first reset time period SR1, the second reset time period SR2, and the third reset time period SR3, RH provides a low voltage signal, T1 and T3 are turned on, I1 provides the first initial voltage Vinit1 to the anode of O1 to clear the residual charge on the anode of O1 and precharge the anode of O1, and I2 provides the second initial voltage Vinit2 to N2 to improve the hysteresis phenomenon of T0 and improve the afterimage.
[0185] During this frame time, the luminance of O1 is less than or equal to 75 nits. The time interval between the start time of the first reset time period SR1 and the end time of the first pre-light-up phase SZ1 is set to 895H. This increases the pre-charging time of the anode of O1 before the first light-up phase SE1, thereby increasing the start-up speed of the first path and increasing the luminance of the normal display path. The time interval between the start time of the second reset time period SR2 and the end time of the second pre-light-up phase SZ2 is also set to 895H. This increases the time for pre-charging the anode of O1 before the second light-up phase SE2. The pre-charging time of the anode of O1 is increased to improve the start-up speed of the first path and increase the light emission of the normal display path. The time interval between the start time of the third reset time period SR3 and the end time of the third light emission preparation stage SZ3 is set to 895H. This is to increase the pre-charging time of the anode of O1 before the third light emission stage SE3, thereby increasing the start-up speed of the first path and increasing the light emission of the normal display path. This reduces the influence of abnormal display paths (abnormal display paths include the second and third paths) and improves the problem of ghosting and brightening. Here, 1H is the scan time of one line.
[0186] In at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown in Figure 8, during operation, data writing and threshold voltage compensation may not be performed in the second and third pre-light-emitting stages, and T1 and T3 are controlled to be turned on during the corresponding reset time periods.
[0187] As shown in Figure 11, the duration of the first light-emitting stage SZ1 is 916H, the duration of the first reset time period SR1 is 4H, the duration of the first light-emitting stage SE1 is 92H, and the time interval between the start time of the first light-emitting stage SZ1 and the start time of the first reset time period SR1 is 21H.
[0188] The duration of the second pre-light-emitting phase SZ2 is 916H, the duration of the second reset time period SR2 is 4H, the duration of the second light-emitting phase SE2 is 92H, and the time interval between the start time of the second pre-light-emitting phase SZ2 and the start time of the second reset time period SR2 is 21H.
[0189] The duration of the third pre-light-emitting stage SZ3 is 916H, the duration of the third reset time period SR3 is H, the duration of the third light-emitting stage SE3 is 92H, and the time interval between the start time of the third pre-light-emitting stage SZ3 and the start time of the third reset time period SR3 is 21H.
[0190] The duration of the first display sub-cycle can be 1008 hours, the duration of the second display sub-cycle can be 1008 hours, and the duration of the third display sub-cycle can be 1008 hours.
[0191] In at least one embodiment shown in Figure 11, a frame time is set to include three display sub-cycles (in related art, a frame time includes twelve display sub-cycles) to facilitate increasing the time for pre-charging the anode of O1 before each light emission stage, thereby improving the problem of ghosting and brightening.
[0192] When at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown in Figure 8 is in operation, one frame time may include three display sub-cycles, and each display sub-cycle may include a preparation light-emitting stage and a light-emitting stage set sequentially.
[0193] As shown in Figure 12, the first display sub-cycle includes a first pre-light-emitting stage SZ1 and a first light-emitting stage SE1 set sequentially; the first pre-light-emitting stage SZ1 includes a first reset time period SR1.
[0194] During the first reset time period SR1, RH provides a low voltage signal, T1 and T3 are turned on, I1 provides a first initial voltage Vinit1 to the anode of O1 to clear the residual charge on the anode of O1 and precharge the anode of O1, and I2 provides a second initial voltage Vinit2 to N2 to improve the hysteresis phenomenon of T0 and improve the afterimage.
[0195] In the first pre-light-emitting stage SZ1, EM provides a high voltage signal, T2 and T4 are turned off, VDD is disconnected from N2, and N3 is disconnected from the anode of O1, thus disconnecting the light-emitting path;
[0196] During this frame time, the luminance of O1 is less than or equal to 75 nits. The time interval between the start time of the first reset time period SR1 and the end time of the first light-up preparation stage SZ1 is set to 895H. This increases the pre-charging time of the anode of O1 before the first light-up stage SE1, thereby increasing the start-up speed of the first path, increasing the light emission of the normal display path, and reducing the influence of abnormal display paths (abnormal display paths include the second and third paths), thus improving the problem of ghosting and brightening. Here, 1H is the scan time of one line.
[0197] In the first light-emitting stage SE1, the light-emitting control signal provided by EM is a PWM signal;
[0198] The first luminous phase SE1 includes the first luminous time period SF1, the first interval time period SJ1, the second luminous time period SF2, the second interval time period SJ2, the third luminous time period SF3, the third interval time period SJ3, and the fourth luminous time period SF4, which are set sequentially.
[0199] During the first emission period SF1, the second emission period SF2, the third emission period SF3, and the fourth emission period SF4, EM provides a low voltage signal, T2 and T4 are turned on, VDD is connected to N2, and N3 is connected to the anode of O1 to conduct the emission path.
[0200] During the first time interval SJ1, the second time interval SJ2, and the third time interval SJ3, EM provides a high voltage signal, T2 and T4 are turned off, VDD is disconnected from N2, and N3 is disconnected from the anode of O1, thus disconnecting the light-emitting path.
[0201] The duration of the first luminescence period SF1 is 42 hours, the duration of the second luminescence period SF2 and the duration of the third luminescence period SF3 are both 4 hours, the duration of the fourth luminescence period SF4 is 30 hours, the duration of the first interval period SJ1 is 20 hours, the duration of the second interval period SJ2 and the duration of the third interval period SJ3 are both 4 hours.
[0202] The duration of the first reset time period SR1 is 4 hours, and the time interval between the start time of the first light-emitting stage SZ1 and the start time of the first reset time period SR1 is 21 hours.
[0203] In at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown in Figure 8, the operation process of the pixel circuit in the second and third display sub-cycles can be the same as that in the first display sub-cycle.
[0204] As shown in Figure 12, at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown in Figure 8 can ensure that the duty cycle of the light emission control signal is the same as that in related technologies by setting the light emission control signal to a PWM signal in each light emission stage.
[0205] In Figures 12 and 13, to clearly illustrate the various time periods included in the luminescence stage, the duration of each pre-luminescence stage is drawn as relatively short. In reality, the duration of each pre-luminescence stage is much longer.
[0206] When at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown in Figure 8 is in operation, one frame time may include three display sub-cycles, and each display sub-cycle may include a preparation light-emitting stage and a light-emitting stage set sequentially.
[0207] As shown in Figure 13, the first display sub-cycle includes a first pre-light-emitting stage SZ1 and a first light-emitting stage SE1 set sequentially; the first pre-light-emitting stage SZ1 includes a first first reset time period SR11 and a first second reset time period SR12;
[0208] During the first reset time period SR11 and the first reset time period SR12, RH provides a low voltage signal, T1 and T3 are turned on, I1 provides a first initial voltage Vinit1 to the anode of O1 to clear the residual charge on the anode of O1 and precharge the anode of O1, and I2 provides a second initial voltage Vinit2 to N2 to improve the hysteresis phenomenon of T0 and improve the afterimage.
[0209] In the first pre-light-emitting stage SZ1, EM provides a high voltage signal, T2 and T4 are turned off, VDD is disconnected from N2, and N3 is disconnected from the anode of O1, thus disconnecting the light-emitting path;
[0210] Within this frame time, the luminance of O1 is less than or equal to 75 nits. The time interval between the start time of the first reset time interval SR11 and the end time of the first pre-light emission stage SZ1 is set to 879H. This increases the pre-charging time of the anode of O1 before the first light emission stage SE1, thereby increasing the start-up speed of the first path, increasing the light emission of the normal display path, and reducing the influence of abnormal display paths (including the second and third paths), thus improving the problem of ghosting and brightening. Here, 1H is the scan time of one line. Furthermore, by increasing the number of reset time intervals included in each pre-light emission stage, the number of times the anode of O1 is reset is increased, which helps to strengthen the pre-charging and reset effect of the anode of O1.
[0211] In the first light-emitting stage SE1, the light-emitting control signal provided by EM is a PWM signal;
[0212] The first luminous phase SE1 includes the first luminous time period SF1, the first interval time period SJ1, the second luminous time period SF2, the second interval time period SJ2, the third luminous time period SF3, the third interval time period SJ3, and the fourth luminous time period SF4, which are set sequentially.
[0213] During the first emission period SF1, the second emission period SF2, the third emission period SF3, and the fourth emission period SF4, EM provides a low voltage signal, T2 and T4 are turned on, VDD is connected to N2, and N3 is connected to the anode of O1 to conduct the emission path.
[0214] During the first time interval SJ1, the second time interval SJ2, and the third time interval SJ3, EM provides a high voltage signal, T2 and T4 are turned off, VDD is disconnected from N2, and N3 is disconnected from the anode of O1, thus disconnecting the light-emitting path.
[0215] The duration of the first luminescence period SF1 is 42 hours, the duration of the second luminescence period SF2 and the duration of the third luminescence period SF3 are both 4 hours, the duration of the fourth luminescence period SF4 is 30 hours, the duration of the first interval period SJ1 is 20 hours, the duration of the second interval period SJ2 and the duration of the third interval period SJ3 are both 4 hours.
[0216] The duration of the first reset time period SR11 and the duration of the first reset time period SR12 are 4 hours. The time interval between the start time of the first light-up preparation stage SZ1 and the start time of the first reset time period SR11 is 21 hours. The time interval between the end time of the first reset time period SR12 and the end time of SZ1 is 7 hours. The duration of the first light-up preparation stage SZ1 is 900 hours. The duration of the first display sub-cycle is 1008 hours.
[0217] In at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown in Figure 8, the operation process of the pixel circuit in the second and third display sub-cycles can be the same as that in the first display sub-cycle.
[0218] When at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown in Figure 8 is in operation, one frame time may include twelve display sub-cycles, and each display sub-cycle may include a preparation light-emitting stage and a light-emitting stage set sequentially.
[0219] Figure 14 shows the first display sub-cycle F1, the second display sub-cycle F2, the third display sub-cycle F3, and the fourth display sub-cycle F4 included in one frame time; the first display sub-cycle includes a first pre-light emission stage SZ1 and a first light emission stage SE1 set sequentially, the second display sub-cycle includes a second pre-light emission stage SZ2 and a second light emission stage SE2 set sequentially, the third display sub-cycle includes a third pre-light emission stage SZ3 and a third light emission stage SE3 set sequentially, and the fourth display sub-cycle includes a fourth pre-light emission stage SZ4 and a fourth light emission stage SE4 set sequentially.
[0220] The first pre-light emission stage SZ1 includes a first reset time period SR1, the second pre-light emission stage SZ2 includes a second reset time period SR2, the third pre-light emission stage SZ3 includes a third reset time period SR3, and the fourth pre-light emission stage SZ4 includes a fourth reset time period SR4.
[0221] During the first reset time period SR1, the second reset time period SR2, the third reset time period SR3, and the fourth reset time period SR4, RH provides a low voltage signal, T1 and T3 are turned on, I1 provides the first initial voltage Vinit1 to the anode of O1 to clear the residual charge on the anode of O1 and precharge the anode of O1, and I2 provides the second initial voltage Vinit2 to N2 to improve the hysteresis phenomenon of T0 and improve the afterimage.
[0222] In the first pre-light emission stage SZ1, the second pre-light emission stage SZ2, the third pre-light emission stage SZ3, and the fourth pre-light emission stage SZ4, EM provides a high voltage signal, T2 and T4 are turned off, VDD is disconnected from N2, and N3 is disconnected from the anode of O1, thus disconnecting the light emission path.
[0223] During this frame time, the luminance of O1 is less than or equal to 75 nits. The time interval between the start time of the first reset time period SR1 and the end time of the first pre-light emission stage SZ1 is set to 225H. The time interval between the start time of the second reset time period SR2 and the end time of the second pre-light emission stage SZ2 is set to 225H.
