Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.
As mentioned in the background art, the inventor has found through careful study that the image sticking occurs in the display process of the conventional display panel, the reason for the image sticking is that, for the driving transistors in the pixel circuits, due to the hysteresis effect of the transistors, when the driving transistors are in the biased state for a long time, the plurality of pixel circuits may need to display different images, for example, a part of the pixel circuits need to drive and display a high gray scale, another part of the pixel circuits need to drive and display a low gray scale, and the actual display gray scales when the high gray scale is switched to the intermediate gray scale and when the low gray scale is switched to the intermediate gray scale are different, the display panel may generate a serious image sticking problem when displaying; in addition, since the first and second electrodes of the driving transistor are not initialized in the pixel circuit, when a next frame signal starts, the first and second electrodes of the driving transistor have different signal changes, which further causes the display of the light emitting unit corresponding to each pixel circuit to be different, that is, there is a problem of display non-uniformity.
Based on the technical problem, the invention provides the following solution:
fig. 1 is a flowchart of a driving method of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 2 is a schematic circuit structure diagram of a pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 3 is a timing diagram of a pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may correspond to the pixel circuit shown in fig. 2, and referring to fig. 1 to fig. 3, the pixel circuit 10 includes: a first transistor P1, a second transistor P2, a third transistor P3, a fourth transistor P4, a fifth transistor P5, and a light emitting unit L; wherein the second transistor P2 is connected between the first electrode L1 of the light emitting cell L and the initialization power Vref, and is turned on in response to the gate signal on the first gate line SCAN 1; the fourth transistor P4 is connected between the first driving power source PVDD and the first pole S1 of the first transistor P1, the fifth transistor P5 is connected between the second pole D1 of the first transistor P1 and the light emitting cell L, the second pole L2 of the light emitting cell L is connected to the second driving power source PVEE, and the fourth transistor P4 and the fifth transistor P5 are turned on in response to the gate signal on the second gate line EM; the third transistor P3 is connected to the data line Vdata and the first transistor P1 and is turned on in response to a gate signal on the third gate line SCAN 2.

The first to seventh transistors P1 to P7 may be P-type transistors or N-type transistors, and in some other embodiments, some P-type transistors may be used and the other N-type transistors may be used, and in this embodiment, P-type transistors are used as the first to seventh transistors P1 to P7. The light emitting unit L may be an OLED, which is a current type device capable of emitting light when a current flows therethrough, wherein the first transistor P1 is a driving transistor of the pixel circuit and supplies a driving current to the light emitting unit L. The first driving power supply PVDD may be a positive voltage signal, and the second driving power supply PVEE may be a negative voltage signal. It should be noted that, when the first to seventh transistors P1 to P7 are all P-type transistors, the voltage value of the initialization signal on the initialization power Vref may be smaller than the voltage value of the voltage signal on the second driving power PVEE, so as to ensure that the light-emitting unit L does not emit light in the first initialization stage, and avoid the light-emitting unit L emitting light by mistake.

Specifically, in the data writing phase t2, the third transistor P3 is turned on, the data signal on the data line Vdata is transmitted to the first electrode S1 of the first transistor P1 through the third transistor P3, and since the potential on the storage capacitor Cst is low, the first transistor P1 is turned on, the seventh transistor P7 is turned on under the third gate signal on the third gate line SCAN2, that is, the data signal on the data line Vdata is transmitted to the storage capacitor Cst, when the potential on the storage capacitor Cst rises to turn off the first transistor P1, the data signal cannot be written onto the storage capacitor Cst, so that the compensation of the threshold voltage of the first transistor P1 is completed, and the final light emitting unit L is not affected by the threshold voltage of the first transistor when emitting light, thereby further improving the display uniformity of the display panel.
In step S303, in the light emitting stage, the first gate line is supplied with a first off signal, the second transistor is turned off, the fourth transistor and the fifth transistor are supplied with a second gate signal, and the fourth transistor and the fifth transistor are turned on.

Specifically, when the first to seventh transistors P1 to P7 each employ a P-type transistor, it may be configured that there is an overlap between rising edges of the first gate pulse and the second gate pulse, that is, there is an overlap between a gate signal on the first gate line SCAN1 and a gate signal on the second gate line EM, and at this time, the first initialization stage t1 includes two stages, i.e., a first stage t11 and a second stage t12, in which the second transistor P2 is turned on at the first stage t11, the initialization signal on the initialization power source Vref is transmitted to the first pole of the light emitting unit L, and at the same time, the fourth transistor P4 and the fifth transistor P5 are turned on due to the second gate signal provided on the second gate line EM, the signal on the first driving power source PVDD is transmitted to the first pole of the first transistor P1 through the fourth transistor P4, the Vref signal on the initialization power source is transmitted to the second pole of the first transistor P1 through the fifth transistor P5, therefore, the initialization of the first pole and the second pole of the first transistor P1 is completed, that is, in the display panel, at the time when each frame starts, the first pole and the second pole of the first transistor P1 of the first transistor P1 in each pixel circuit have the same electric potential, and when the electric potentials are changed to the same electric potential, the changing processes are consistent, so that the problem of display unevenness caused by inconsistent changing processes is avoided, and the display uniformity is further improved.

Alternatively, with continued reference to fig. 8, the pulse width d1 of the first gate pulse is wider than the pulse width d2 of the fourth gate pulse, so as to ensure that when the second initialization phase is performed simultaneously with the first phase t11, the high level signal on the second gate line EM does not overlap the low level signal on the fourth gate line SCAN3, and the fourth gate pulse only overlaps the second gate pulse, so that in the first phase t11, the initialization signal on the initialization power source Vref only initializes the gate of the first transistor P1, thereby improving the initialization degree and further improving the display effect.
