In step 210, the pwm circuit is reset according to the reset signal or the first scan signal in the first stage.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2, 3 and 4, the pwm circuit 110 resets the pwm circuit 110 according to the signal ST in the first stage I1. In some embodiments, the signal ST may be a reset signal R [ N ] or a preceding first scan signal S1[ N-1].
For example, the first transistor T1 is turned on in the first stage I1 according to the reset signal R [ N ] or the first scan signal S1[ N-1] of the previous stage, and the power supply voltage VDD resets the first node N1 of the first capacitor C1 to a high level through the first transistor T1.
In step 220, a pwm signal is generated according to the first scan signal and the selection signal in the second stage, and the current source is driven according to the pwm signal, so that the current source provides current to the light emitting device.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2, 3 and 4, the pwm circuit 110 generates a pwm signal according to the first scan signal S1[ N ] and the selection signal Sel in the second stage I2, and drives the current source 120 according to the pwm signal, so that the current source 120 provides a current to the light emitting element L.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, the selection signals Sel1 to Sel5 generate the pulse signal in the second stage I2 according to one of the gray scales. The pulse signal determines the duty cycle of the pwm signal at the time point of the second phase I2 generation.
Further, referring to fig. 3, the select signals Se11 to Se15 are arranged from top to bottom according to the gray scale size. As shown in fig. 3, the selection signal Se11 corresponds to a high gray level, the selection signal Se12 corresponds to a medium and high gray level, the selection signal Se13 corresponds to a medium and low gray level, the selection signal Sel4 corresponds to a low gray level, and the selection signal Se15 corresponds to a zero gray level.

For example, referring to fig. 3 and 5, in the second stage I2, when the second transistor T2 is turned on according to the selection signal Sel1 and the third transistor T3 is turned on according to the first scan signal S1[ N ] to generate the pulse signal, the second transistor T2 of the pwm circuit 110 rewrites the potential of the first node N1 of the first capacitor C1 according to the time point P1 when the pulse signal is generated, and at this time, the first reference voltage VREF1 rewrites the original high potential of the first node N1 to the low potential through the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3. Next, the rewritten first node N1 maintains a low potential to turn on the driving transistor DT1. Subsequently, the driving transistor DT1 of the pwm circuit 110 drives the current source 120 according to the pwm signal, and continuously causes the current source 120 to supply current to the light emitting element L. It should be noted that the second transistor T2 of the pwm circuit 110 may employ different selection signals to generate corresponding driving steps, and in this embodiment, the selection signal Sel1 is taken as an example for illustration. Since the driving steps of the second transistor T2 using the selection signals Sel2, sel3, sel4 and Sel5 are similar to the driving steps using the selection signal Sel1, the description is omitted for brevity.
