[0120] Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of a pixel driving circuit in the related art. This pixel driving circuit may include: a driving transistor T3, a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a fourth transistor T4, a fifth transistor T5, a sixth transistor T6, a seventh transistor T7, an eighth transistor T8, and a capacitor C. In this configuration, the first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the data signal terminal Da, the second electrode is connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3, and the gate is connected to the first gate drive signal terminal G1; the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first power supply terminal VDD, the second electrode is connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3, and the gate is connected to the enable signal terminal EM; the gate of the driving transistor T3 is connected to node N; the first electrode of the second transistor T2 is connected to node N, the second electrode is connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor T3, and the gate is connected to the first gate drive signal terminal G1; the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor T3, the second electrode is connected to the second electrode of the seventh transistor T7, and the gate is connected to the enable signal terminal EM; the first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the second initial signal terminal Vinit2, and the gate is connected to the second reset signal terminal Re2; the second electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to node N, the first electrode is connected to the first initial signal terminal Vinit1, and the gate is connected to the first reset signal terminal Re1; the first electrode of the capacitor C is connected to node N, and the second electrode is connected to the first power supply terminal VDD; the first electrode of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the third initial signal line Vinit3, the second electrode is connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor, and the gate is connected to the second reset signal terminal Re2. The pixel driving circuit can be connected to a light-emitting unit L, which is used to drive the light-emitting unit L to emit light. The light-emitting unit L can be connected between the second terminal of the sixth transistor T6 and the second power supply terminal VSS. Among them, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the driving transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8 can be P-type transistors.
[0121] The pixel driving circuit driving method can include a reset stage, a data writing stage, and a light-emitting stage. In the reset stage, the first reset signal terminal Re1 outputs a low-level signal, the second reset signal terminal Re2 outputs a low-level signal, the first transistor T1, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, the first initial signal terminal Vinit1 inputs a first initial signal to node N, the second initial signal terminal Vinit2 inputs a second initial signal to the first electrode of the light-emitting unit, and the third initial signal terminal Vinit3 inputs a third initial signal to the first electrode of the driving transistor T3. In the data writing stage, the first gate driving signal terminal G1 outputs a low-level signal, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on, and simultaneously the data signal terminal Da outputs a data signal to write a compensation voltage Vdata+Vth to node N, where Vdata is the voltage of the data signal and Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T3. In the light-emitting stage: the enable signal terminal EM outputs a low-level signal, the sixth transistor T6 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned on, and the driving transistor T3 drives the light-emitting unit to emit light under the action of the compensation voltage Vdata+Vth stored in capacitor C. In this pixel driving circuit, the output current of the driving transistor is I = (μWCox / 2L)(Vdata + Vth - Vdd - Vth). 2 This pixel driving circuit can avoid the influence of the driving transistor threshold on its output current. Where I is the driving transistor output current; μ is the carrier mobility; Cox is the gate capacitance per unit area; W is the width of the driving transistor channel; L is the length of the driving transistor channel; Vgs is the gate-source voltage difference of the driving transistor; and Vth is the driving transistor threshold voltage.
[0122] However, during the light-emitting stage, the gate of the driving transistor T3 leaks current through the second transistor T2, which causes changes in the brightness of the light-emitting unit. At the same time, the hysteresis phenomenon of the driving transistor can cause display problems such as image retention on the display panel.
[0123] Based on this, this exemplary embodiment first provides a pixel driving circuit, as shown in FIG2, which is a schematic diagram of an exemplary embodiment of the pixel driving circuit of this disclosure. The pixel driving circuit may include: a driving circuit 1, a first compensation circuit 2, a second compensation circuit 3, a voltage regulator circuit 4, and a second storage circuit 5. A driving circuit 1 is connected to a first node N1, a second node N2, and a third node N3. The driving circuit 1 is used to generate a driving current between the second node N2 and the third node N3 based on the signal from the first node N1. A first compensation circuit 2 is connected to the first node N1, a fourth node N4, and a first gate drive signal terminal G1. The first compensation circuit is used to connect the first node N1 and the fourth node N4 in response to the signal from the first gate drive signal terminal G1. A second compensation circuit 3 is connected to the third node N3, the fourth node N4, and a second enable signal terminal EM2. The second compensation circuit 3 is used to connect the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 in response to the signal from the second enable signal terminal EM2. A voltage regulator circuit 4 is connected to the fourth node N4, a third initial signal terminal Vinit3, and a third enable signal terminal EM3. The voltage regulator circuit 4 is used to transmit the signal from the third initial signal terminal Vinit3 to the fourth node N4 in response to the signal from the third enable signal terminal EM3. A second storage circuit 5 is connected to the fourth node N4 and is used to store the voltage signal of the fourth node N4.
[0124] The driving method of the pixel driving circuit provided in this exemplary embodiment may include a first reset stage, a data writing stage, a second reset stage, and a light emission stage. In the first reset phase, a first initial signal can be input to the first node N1. In the data writing phase, a data signal can be input to the second node N2, and the first compensation circuit 2 and the second compensation circuit 3 are simultaneously turned on to input a compensation voltage Vdata+Vth to the first node N1 through the driving circuit 1, the first compensation circuit 2, and the second compensation circuit 3, where Vdata is the voltage of the data signal and Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving circuit. In the second reset phase, the second compensation circuit 3 and the voltage regulator circuit 4 are turned on, and the first compensation circuit 2 is turned off. A third initial signal is input to the third node N3 through the voltage regulator circuit 4 and the second compensation circuit 3 to improve the hysteresis problem of the driving circuit. At the same time, this setting can reduce the voltage difference between the first node N1 and the fourth node N4, thereby reducing the leakage current of the first node N1. In the light-emitting phase, the first compensation circuit 2, the second compensation circuit 3, and the voltage regulator circuit 4 are turned off. The voltage signal of the fourth node N4 stored in the second storage circuit 5 can continuously reduce the leakage current from the first node N1 to the fourth node N4.

[0129] In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG2, the second electrode of the second capacitor C2 can be connected to the first enable signal terminal EM1. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the second electrode of the second capacitor C2 can also be connected to other signal terminals such as the first enable signal terminal EM1, the second enable signal terminal EM2, and the third node N3. Furthermore, the second electrode of the second capacitor C2 can also include multiple sub-electrodes, and the multiple sub-electrodes can be connected one-to-one with multiple of the first enable signal terminal EM1, the second enable signal terminal EM2, and the third node N3.

This exemplary embodiment sets the capacitance value of the second capacitor to an appropriate size, which can effectively improve the leakage current problem of the first node N1.
