The pixel driving circuit may be connected to a light emitting unit OLED for driving the light emitting unit OLED to emit light, and the light emitting unit OLED may be connected between the second pole of the sixth transistor T6 and the second power source terminal VSS. The transistors T1-T7 may be P-type transistors.
Fig. 2 is a timing diagram of nodes in a driving method of the pixel driving circuit of fig. 1. Wherein, Gate represents the time sequence of Gate driving signal terminal, Re represents the time sequence of reset signal terminal Re, EM represents the time sequence of enabling signal terminal EM, Data represents the timing of the Data signal terminal Data. The driving method of the pixel driving circuit may include a reset phase t1, a compensation phase t2, and a light emitting phase t 3. At the reset phase t 1: the reset signal terminal Re outputs a low level signal, the first transistor T1 and the seventh transistor T7 are turned on, and the initialization signal terminal Vinit inputs an initialization signal to the first node N1 and the second pole of the sixth transistor T6. In the compensation phase t 2: the Gate driving signal terminal Gate outputs a low level signal, the fourth transistor T4 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, and the Data signal terminal Data outputs a driving signal to write a voltage Vdata + Vth to the first node N1, where Vdata is a voltage of the driving signal and Vth is a threshold voltage of the driving transistor T3. Lighting phase t 3: the enable signal terminal EM outputs a low level signal, the sixth transistor T6 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned on, and the driving transistor T3 emits light under the action of the voltage Vdata + Vth stored in the capacitor C. According to the formula of the output current of the driving transistor, I ═ (mu WCox/2L) (Vgs-Vth)2Wherein μ is the carrier mobility; cox is the gate capacitance per unit area, W is the width of the drive transistor channel, L is the length of the drive transistor channel, Vgs is the difference in gate-source voltages of the drive transistors, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the drive transistors. However, in the light emitting stage, the first node N1 is easily leaked to the initial signal terminal Vinit through the first transistor T1, thereby causing a display abnormality. Particularly in a low gray scale display state, the display panel can reduce power consumption by reducing a refresh frequency, and the display abnormality caused by the above-mentioned leakage is more serious at the low refresh frequency.
Based on this, the present exemplary embodiment provides a pixel driving circuit, as shown in fig. 3, which is a schematic structural diagram of an exemplary embodiment of the pixel driving circuit of the present disclosure. Wherein the pixel driving circuit may include: the driving circuit 4 may be connected to the first node N1 and the second node N2, and configured to output a driving current to the second node N2 according to a voltage of the first node N1; the first switching unit 1 may be connected between the first node N1 and a third node N3, for connecting the first node N1 and a third node N3 in response to a control signal; the second switching unit 2 may be connected between the third node N3 and an initial signal terminal Vinit, for connecting the third node N3 and the initial signal terminal Vinit in response to a control signal; the third switching unit 3 may be connected between the third node N3 and a reference voltage terminal Vref, and configured to transmit a signal of the reference voltage terminal Vref to the third node N3 in response to a control signal.
In the present exemplary embodiment, the reference voltage terminal Vref may supply a constant voltage to the third node N3 during the light emitting period. In the low gray scale display state, in the initial stage of the light emitting stage of the pixel driving circuit, the voltage difference between the voltage of the first node N1 and the constant voltage may be smaller than the voltage difference between the first node N1 and the initial signal terminal Vinit, so that the leakage current from the first node N1 to the initial signal terminal in the light emitting stage may be reduced, wherein the constant voltage may be smaller than the voltage of the first node N1 or larger than the voltage of the first node N1. The pixel driving circuit can be used for solving the problem of electric leakage of the first node in a low gray scale state. For example, the voltage of the initial signal terminal Vinit may be-2V, and in the low gray scale display state, the voltage range of the first node N1 in the initial stage of the light emitting stage may be 1.5V-4.5V, and the constant voltage may be 0V, 1.5V, 4.5V, 5V, and so on. In the present exemplary embodiment, the above-described constant voltage may be preferably within the above-described voltage range of the first node N1.
It should be noted that the "low gray level" in the exemplary embodiment may refer to a gray level range from 0 to 16 in the gray level division manner with the maximum gray level of 255, for example, 0 gray level, 5 gray level, 10 gray level, and 16 gray level. In the exemplary embodiment, the constant voltage provided by the reference voltage terminal does not vary with the gray scale variation.
It should be understood that, in other exemplary embodiments, the leakage current of the first node may also be adjusted by adjusting the voltage value of the reference voltage terminal Vref for different gray scale ranges. For example, the gray scale is in the range of 17-32, the voltage range of the first node N1 in the initial stage of the light emitting stage can be 0.5V-1.5V, and the voltage of the reference voltage terminal can be 0.5V, 1V, 1.5V, etc. In addition, the reference voltage terminal may provide different voltages according to different gray scales, and the voltage of the reference voltage terminal may be equal to or approximately equal to the voltage of the first node at the initial stage of the light emitting stage under the corresponding gray scale, for example, under 0 gray scale, the voltage of the first node at the initial stage of the light emitting stage is 4.5V, and the reference voltage terminal may provide 4.5V; under 16 gray scale, the voltage of the first node at the initial stage of the light emitting stage is 1.5V, and the reference voltage terminal can provide 1.5V.
