In other embodiments, the configuration may be reversed, for example, when the control terminal is switched on to a low potential, the first and second pass terminals are turned off, and when the control terminal is switched on to a high potential, the first and second pass terminals are turned on. For example, the P-type MOS transistor is turned on when the control terminal is connected to a low potential signal, and turned off when the control terminal is connected to a high potential signal; the N-type MOS tube is switched on by high potential at the control end and is switched off when being switched on by low potential.

Alternatively, the electroluminescent element may be an OLED light emitting element, and specifically may be an AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode). In other embodiments, other electroluminescent elements may also be used, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a driving method of a pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
In this embodiment, the driving method of the pixel circuit may include:
step S11: a detection stage: the potential of the anode of the electroluminescent element in each pixel circuit unit is detected, and the potential of the anode of the electroluminescent element is recorded in the driving chip to form an anode voltage compensation signal.
Wherein, each pixel circuit unit 20 at least includes a first switch transistor T1 and an electroluminescent element D; each detection circuit unit 30 at least comprises a selection circuit 31, the selection circuit at least comprises a second switch tube T2 and a connection switch tube T0; the step of detecting the potential of the anode of the electroluminescent device D in each pixel circuit unit 20 may specifically include: the input of the first timing signal S1 controls the conduction of the first and second path terminals of the second switch tube T2 in the detection circuit unit 30, and the input of the scan signal scan controls the conduction of the first and second path terminals of the first switch tube T1, and controls the conduction of the connection switch tube, so that the driving chip 10 is conducted with the anode of the electroluminescent device D in the corresponding pixel circuit unit 20, and the potential of the anode of the electroluminescent device D is obtained.
In the step of inputting the first timing signal S1 to control the second switch tube T2 in the detection circuit unit 30 to be turned on, the second switch tubes T2 in at least two adjacent detection circuit units 30 in the same group (detection circuit unit) are controlled to be turned on individually, so as to obtain the potentials of the anodes of the electroluminescent elements D in the corresponding pixel circuit units 30 in different time periods.
For example, as shown in fig. 1, in the step of inputting the first timing signal S1 to control the second switch T2 of the detection circuit unit 30 to be turned on in the detection circuit unit group of fig. 1, the second switch T2 of one detection circuit unit 30 of the two pixel circuit units 20 adjacent to each other in the second direction is controlled to be turned on for the first period of time, and the second switch T2 of the other detection circuit unit 30 is controlled to be turned off; the second switch tube T2 of one of the detecting circuit units 30 is controlled to be turned off in a second time period different from the first time period, and the second switch tube T2 of the other detecting circuit unit 30 is controlled to be turned on, so as to obtain the potentials of the anodes of the corresponding electroluminescent elements D in the first time period and the second time period, respectively. In other words, the potentials of the anodes of the electroluminescent elements D in the two corresponding (referring to the two adjacent detection circuit units) adjacent groups of the pixel circuit units 20 arranged along the first direction (for example, the column direction in the figure) are respectively obtained in the first period and the second period.
For example, in the case where the first direction is the column direction, the electroluminescent elements D of the pixel circuit units 20 of two adjacent columns are acquired in the first period and the second period, respectively. The first switching tube T1 is further controlled by the Scan signal Scan to time-share the pixel circuit units 20 in the same column in respective time periods (the first time period and the second time period) to obtain the potential of the anode of the electroluminescent element D in the corresponding pixel circuit unit 20.
Alternatively, during the detecting phase, the potential of the first timing signal S1 and the potential of the second timing signal S2 may not be required, and it is sufficient that the electroluminescent device D emits light, but in order to reduce the influence of the detecting phase on the electroluminescent device D, it is recommended that the potentials of the first timing signal S1 and the second timing signal S2 are as small as possible.
The first timing signal S1 can be modified to be the anode voltage compensation signal by detecting the potential difference of the anode of the electroluminescent device D each time, without limitation, as long as the first timing signal S1 used in each detection period is kept the same, and the second timing signal S2 used in each detection period is kept the same.
Step S12: a display stage: the driving chip calls the anode voltage compensation signal and outputs the anode voltage compensation signal to the corresponding pixel circuit unit.
