In the present exemplary embodiment, each transistor has a control terminal, a first terminal, and a second terminal. Specifically, the control terminal of each transistor may be a gate, the first terminal may be a source, and the second terminal may be a drain; alternatively, the control terminal of each transistor may be a gate, the first terminal may be a drain, and the second terminal may be a source. Further, each transistor may be an enhancement transistor or a depletion transistor, which is not particularly limited in this exemplary embodiment.
On the basis, all the transistors can be N-type thin film transistors, and the driving voltage of each transistor is high-level voltage; alternatively, all the transistors may be P-type thin film transistors, and the driving voltage of each transistor is a low level voltage.
The operation of the pixel driving circuit will be described in detail with reference to the operation timing chart of the pixel driving circuit shown in fig. 5. The driving timing diagram shows the level states of the reset control signal Vcs, the scan signal Sn, the second power signal Vcc, and the data signal Vdata in three periods.
First period t1 (reset phase): the reset control signal Vcs is at a high level, the scan signal Sn is at a low level, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are turned off, and the initialization signal Vint is transmitted to the storage capacitor Cst and the control terminal of the driving transistor DT. The storage capacitor Cst and the control terminal of the driving transistor DT are reset.
Second period t2 (data enlargement writing phase): the reset control signal Vcs is at a low level, the scan signal Sn is at a high level, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3 are turned on, and the fourth transistor T4 is turned off. The third transistor T3 is turned on by a high level of the scan signal Sn, the data signal Vdata is transmitted to the control terminals of the first and second transistors T1 and T2, and the first and second transistors T1 and T2 are turned on. The second power signal Vcc flows through the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, and the voltage of the second terminal of the first transistor T1 is varied. The specific voltage value is related to the opening degrees of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, i.e., related to the data voltage signal, and thus it is substantially amplified for the data signal Vdata through the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the second power signal Vcc. The amplified data signal Vdata is stored in the storage capacitor Cst.
In a third period T3 (display phase), the reset control signal Vcs is at a low level, the scan signal Sn is at a low level, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3 are turned on, and the fourth transistor T4 are turned off. The driving transistor DT is turned on by a signal stored in the storage capacitor Cst, the first power signal VDD is applied to the display unit 150, and the display unit 150 displays the image.
It should be noted that: in the above specific embodiment, all transistors are N-type transistors; those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that pixel drive circuits provided in accordance with the present disclosure have all transistors in the form of P-type transistors. In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, all the transistors may be P-type transistors. The adoption of the all-P type thin film transistor has the following advantages: for example, strong noise suppression; for example, low level is easy to realize in charge management because of low level conduction; for example, the P-type thin film transistor has simple manufacturing process and relatively low price; such as better stability of the P-type thin film transistor, etc. Of course, the pixel driving circuit provided in the present disclosure may also be replaced by a CMOS (Complementary Metal oxide semiconductor) circuit, etc., and is not limited to the pixel driving circuit provided in this embodiment, and will not be described herein again.
Illustratively, the third transistor T3 and the driving transistor DT are respectively an address TFT (thinfilm transistor), a thin film transistor and a driving TFT of the pixel driving circuit, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are respectively an NPN-type BJT and a PNP-type BJT, a point B is a common base, a point C1 is a collector of the first transistor T1, a point E is an emitter of the first transistor T1 and an emitter of the second transistor T2, and a point C2 is a collector of the second transistor T2.
When the data signal Vdata is at a high level and is smaller than the collector voltage of the first transistor T1 (the second power signal Vcc), the collector junction of the first transistor T1 is reverse biased, the emitter junction is forward biased, and the current of the first transistor T1 flows from the collector junction to the emitter junction, thereby causing the gate voltage of the driving transistor DT to increase, the energy is provided by the second power source, and the driving capability increases. When the data signal Vdata is at a low level, the emitter junction of the second transistor T2 is forward biased, the collector junction is reverse biased, the transistor current of the second transistor T2 flows from the emitter to the collector, and the gate of the driving transistor DT discharges through the junction capacitor.
Generally, the data signal Vdata is output from the common end of the emitter of the triode through a totem pole output circuit 131 to obtain a gate signal of the driving transistor DT with greatly enhanced driving capability, and from the energy perspective, the weak signal is taken (acquired) from the second power source end through the NPN BJT and the PNP BJT, thereby becoming a gate driving signal with high energy.
Compared with the pixel driving circuit in a normal region, the circuit is applied to the pixel driving circuit in a low PPI region, the grid voltage of the driving transistor DT can be increased under the condition that the same data signal Vdata is input, and the pixel driving current of the circuit is larger than that of the pixel driving circuit in the normal region under the condition that Vgs-Vth is larger than Vds, so that the low PPI region obtains larger display brightness, and the display effect is optimized.
It should be noted that the third power source terminal and the fourth power source terminal may be ground terminals, that is, the third power source signal VSS2 and the fourth power source signal VSS1 may be zero potential signals. Of course, in practical applications, the second power signal VSS2 and the fourth power signal VSS1 may be other fixed potentials, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the disclosure.

In step S610, the reset control signal Vcs is at a low level, the scan signal Sn is at a high level, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3 are turned on, and the fourth transistor T4 is turned off. The third transistor T3 is turned on by a high level of the scan signal Sn, the data signal Vdata is transmitted to the control terminals of the first and second transistors T1 and T2, and the first and second transistors T1 and T2 are turned on. The second power signal Vcc flows through the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, and the voltage of the second terminal of the first transistor T1 is varied. The specific voltage value is related to the opening degrees of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, i.e., related to the data voltage signal, and thus it is substantially amplified for the data signal Vdata through the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the second power signal Vcc. The amplified data signal Vdata is stored in the storage capacitor Cst.
In step S620, the reset control signal Vcs is at a low level, the scan signal Sn is at a low level, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3 are turned on, and the fourth transistor T4 is turned off.
