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:

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.

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.
