Accordingly, the display panel requires the fifth transistor T5 to have a high response speed. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the display panel can also control the brightness of the light-emitting unit by controlling the frequency and duration of the high-level signal pulses output by the first enable signal terminal EM1 and / or the second enable signal terminal EM2.
