Abstract

A light-emitting unit driving circuit (10) and method, a pixel circuit (101), and a display apparatus. The light-emitting unit driving circuit (10) comprises a first driving transistor (SD1), a second driving transistor (SD2), a light emission switch (11), a reset switch (12), a data switch (13), a first selector switch (14), a second selector switch (15), and a toggle circuit (16). In a reset period (t1) of each frame, a reset signal (Vint) is written to perform circuit reset, while the toggle circuit (16) is triggered to switch an output level, thereby triggering the first selector switch (14) and the second selector switch (15) to be alternately turned on during frame switching. In a data writing period (t2) of each frame, a data signal (Data) is written and is selectively output to one of the driving transistors by means of a corresponding selector switch, the corresponding driving transistor being triggered by the data signal (Data) to generate a current signal. In a light emission period (t3), the current signal is output to a light-emitting unit (20) by means of the light emission switch (11). In adjacent frames, the driving transistors that generate current signals operate alternately, thereby reducing the operating time of each driving transistor and prolonging the service life.
