Illustratively, the display panel may include: a plurality of light emission control lines EM, a plurality of reset lines RST, a plurality of first gate lines GA1, a plurality of second gate lines GA2, and a plurality of third gate lines GA3. Wherein, a row of sub-pixels is connected to a first gate line GA1, a second gate line GA2, a third gate line GA3, a light emission control line EM, and a reset line RST. Illustratively, as shown in connection with fig. 1 and 2, each subpixel may include: a pixel circuit 0121 and a light emitting element 0120. Wherein the pixel circuit 0121 has a transistor and a capacitor, and generates an electric signal by interaction of the transistor and the capacitor, and the generated electric signal is input to an anode of the light emitting element 0120. And the cathode of the light emitting element 0120 is applied with a corresponding voltage, so that the light emitting element 0120 can be driven to emit light.
Illustratively, the light emitting element 0120 may be provided as an electroluminescent diode, such as at least one of an organic light emitting diode (Organic Light Emitting Diode, OLED), a quantum dot light emitting diode (Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes, QLED), a micro LED, a mini LED. The light-emitting element 0120 may include an anode, a light-emitting layer, and a cathode, which are stacked.

Of course, in practical application, the light emitting element 0120 may be determined by design according to the requirements of the practical application environment, which is not limited herein.
Illustratively, as shown in connection with fig. 1, the pixel circuit 0121 may include: the memory capacitor CST, the driving transistor T1, the data writing transistor T2, the threshold compensation transistor T3, the light emission control transistor T4, the on control transistor T5, the reset transistor T6, and the initialization transistor T7.

For example, in some examples, the second power supply terminal VSS may be grounded.
The signal timing diagram corresponding to the pixel circuit shown in fig. 1 is shown in fig. 2. In a display frame, the operation of the pixel circuit has three phases: stage T10, stage T20, stage T30. Wherein RST represents a reset signal transmitted on the reset line RST, GA1 represents a first scan signal transmitted on the first gate line GA1, GA2 represents a second scan signal transmitted on the second gate line GA2, GA3 represents a third scan signal transmitted on the third gate line GA3, and EM represents a light emission control signal transmitted on the light emission control line EM.
The data writing transistor T2 may be turned on under control of an active level of the first scan signal ga1, and may be turned off under control of an inactive level of the first scan signal ga 1. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the data writing transistor T2 is a P-type transistor, and the active level of the first scan signal ga1 is low and the inactive level is high. If the data writing transistor T2 is an N-type transistor, the active level of the first scan signal ga1 is high and the inactive level is low.
The initialization transistor T7 may be turned on under control of an active level of the second scan signal ga2, and may be turned off under control of an inactive level of the second scan signal ga 2. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the initialization transistor T7 is a P-type transistor, the active level of the second scan signal ga2 is low, and the inactive level is high. If the initialization transistor T7 is an N-type transistor, the active level of the second scan signal ga2 is high and the inactive level is low.
The reset transistor T6 may be turned on under control of an active level of the reset signal rst and may be turned off under control of an inactive level of the reset signal rst. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the reset transistor T6 is an N-type transistor, and the active level of the reset signal rst is a high level and the inactive level is a low level. If the reset transistor T6 is a P-type transistor, the active level of the reset signal rst is low, and the inactive level is high.
The threshold compensation transistor T3 may be turned on under control of an active level of the third scan signal ga3 and may be turned off under control of an inactive level of the third scan signal ga3. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the threshold compensation transistor T3 is an N-type transistor, and the active level of the third scan signal ga3 is high and the inactive level is low. If the threshold compensation transistor T3 is a P-type transistor, the active level of the third scan signal ga3 is low and the inactive level is high.
In the stage T10, the reset signal rst controls the reset transistor T6 to be turned on, so that the reset voltage transferred on the reset voltage line VRS can be supplied to the gate of the driving transistor T1 to reset the gate of the driving transistor T1. The second scan signal ga2 controls the initialization transistor T7 to be turned on to supply the voltage transmitted on the initialization line VINIT to the anode of the light emitting element 0120 to initialize the anode of the light emitting element 0120. Also, in this stage, the first scan signal ga1 controls the data writing transistor T2 to be turned off, and the third scan signal ga3 controls the threshold compensation transistor T3 to be turned off. The light emission control signal em controls the light emission control transistor T4 and the on control transistor T5 to be both turned off.
In the period T20, the first scan signal ga1 controls the data writing transistor T2 to be turned on, and the third scan signal ga3 controls the threshold compensation transistor T3 to be turned on. The turned-on data writing transistor T2 charges the gate of the driving transistor T1 with the data signal transmitted on the data line VD such that the voltage of the gate of the driving transistor T1 becomes: vdata+vth. Where Vth represents the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1, and Vdata represents the voltage of the data signal. Also, in this stage, the reset signal rst controls the reset transistor T6 to be turned off. The second scan signal ga2 controls the initialization transistor T7 to be turned off. The light emission control signal em controls the light emission control transistor T4 and the on control transistor T5 to be both turned off.
In the stage T30, the emission control signal em controls the emission control transistor T4 and the on control transistor T5 to be turned on. The turned-on light emission control transistor T4 supplies the voltage VDD of the first power supply terminal VDD to the first electrode of the driving transistor T1 such that the voltage of the first electrode of the driving transistor T1 is VDD. The driving transistor T1 generates a driving current according to its gate voltage vdata+|vth| and the voltage Vdd of the first pole. The driving current is supplied to the light emitting element 0120 through the on control transistor T5, and the light emitting element 0120 is driven to emit light. Also, in this stage, the reset signal rst controls the reset transistor T6 to be turned off, and the second scan signal ga2 controls the initialization transistor T7 to be turned off. The first scan signal ga1 controls the data writing transistor T2 to be turned off. The third scan signal ga3 controls the threshold compensation transistor T3 to be turned off.
In the T10 stage, the T20 stage, and the T30 stage, a first power supply voltage is input to the first power supply terminal, and a second power supply voltage is input to the cathode of the light emitting element in the display panel.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first pole of the transistor may be the source electrode thereof, and the second pole may be the drain electrode thereof; or the first electrode is the drain electrode and the second electrode is the source electrode, which can be designed and determined according to the practical application requirement. Also, the pixel circuit in the sub-pixel may be a structure including other number of transistors in addition to the structure shown in fig. 2, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present disclosure. The following describes an example of the structure of the pixel circuit shown in fig. 1.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the threshold compensation transistor T3 and the reset transistor T6 may be set as N-type transistors, and the materials of the active layers of the threshold compensation transistor T3 and the reset transistor T6 may be set as metal oxide semiconductor materials, that is, the threshold compensation transistor T3 and the reset transistor T6 may be set as oxide transistors, so that leakage currents of the threshold compensation transistor T3 and the reset transistor T6 may be made smaller. And, the data writing transistor T2, the light emission control transistor T4, the on control transistor T5, the initializing transistor T7, and the driving transistor T1 may be set as P-type transistors, and the materials of the active layers of the data writing transistor T2, the light emission control transistor T4, the on control transistor T5, the initializing transistor T7, and the driving transistor T1 may be set as low-temperature polysilicon materials, that is, the data writing transistor T2, the light emission control transistor T4, the on control transistor T5, the initializing transistor T7, and the driving transistor T1 may be set as LTPS-type transistors, so that the mobility of the data writing transistor T2, the light emission control transistor T4, the on control transistor T5, the initializing transistor T7, and the driving transistor T1 may be made higher, and may be made thinner, smaller, lower power consumption, and the like. Thus, the LTPO pixel circuit of the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon oxide is prepared by combining the two processes of preparing the LTPS type transistor and the oxide type transistor, so that the drain current of the grid electrode of the driving transistor can be smaller, and the power consumption can be lower.
With the development of display technology, a display device may operate at a plurality of refresh frequencies, for example, 60Hz, 90Hz,120 Hz. How to reduce power consumption has been a big research hotspot in the display field, and various ways for reducing power consumption have been developed. The mode of reducing the refresh frequency based on the actual application situation has obvious effect on reducing the power consumption. In particular, the display panel may operate in a normal refresh mode and a low frequency refresh mode. When the display panel displays a dynamic picture, a normal refresh mode can be adopted, and the refresh frequency is high, for example, 90hz,120hz, etc., and each display frame is a refresh frame for writing data voltages into sub-pixels. When the display panel displays a still picture, a low frequency refresh mode may be employed, and the refresh frequency is low, for example, 1HZ (or 30 HZ), and 1 refresh frame and 59 hold frames are included in 1S. The difference between the hold frame and the refresh frame is that: the hold frame holds the data voltage written by the previous refresh frame without writing a new data voltage to the sub-pixel. Thus, the effect of reducing power consumption can be achieved. However, since there is a brightness difference between the refresh frame and the sustain frame, a flicker phenomenon is observed by the user.
Based on this, in the driving method of the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the current display frame may be, for example, a display frame when the display panel is driven with the current refresh frequency. Illustratively, the current refresh frequency may be 1/n of the highest refresh frequency; wherein n is an integer greater than 1. For example, the highest refresh frequency is 120Hz, then the current refresh frequency may be 60Hz, or the current refresh frequency may be 40Hz, or the current refresh frequency may be 30Hz, or the current refresh frequency may be 10Hz, or the current refresh frequency may be 1Hz.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the current display frame may be divided into n sub-display frames, a first sub-display frame of the n sub-display frames is defined as a refresh sub-frame, and the remaining sub-display frames are defined as hold sub-frames. In the refresh sub-frame, a data writing transistor in the display panel may be driven, a data voltage may be input, and an initializing transistor in the display panel may be driven, a first initializing voltage may be input, and a second power voltage may be input to a cathode of a light emitting element in the display panel. That is, in the refresh sub-frame, each pixel circuit may be controlled to perform the operation of the T10, T20, and T30 phases. At this time, the first initialization voltage is transmitted on the initialization line VINIT in the T10 stage, so that the first initialization voltage can be input to the anode of the light emitting element through the initialization transistor.
In the hold sub-frame, an initialization transistor in the display panel is driven, a second initialization voltage is input, and a second power supply voltage is input to a cathode of a light emitting element in the display panel. That is, in the sustain sub-frame, each pixel circuit may be controlled by the signal ga2 to turn on only the initialization transistor, and at this time, the second initialization voltage is transmitted on the initialization line VINIT, so that the second initialization voltage may be input to the anode of the light emitting element through the initialization transistor. The first initialization voltage and the second initialization voltage are different.
According to the driving method of the display panel, the first initializing voltage input in the refreshing sub-frame and the second initializing voltage input in the holding sub-frame are set to different voltage values, the initializing voltages input in the refreshing sub-frame and the holding sub-frame can be set independently, namely the initializing voltage input to the anode of the light emitting element is set independently, so that the brightness difference between the refreshing sub-frame and the holding sub-frame can be improved, and the flicker phenomenon is reduced.
Illustratively, in conjunction with FIG. 3, GA1 represents the signal on the first gate line GA1, GA2 represents the signal on the second gate line GA2, and init represents the signal on the initialization line VINIT. The current display frame F1 may be divided into a plurality of sub-display frames (e.g., F11, F12, F13, F14) in succession. The first sub-display frame may be defined as refresh sub-frame F11 and the remaining sub-display frames as sustain sub-frames: f12, F13, F14. In the refresh subframe F11, each pixel circuit is controlled to sequentially execute the working processes of the T10 phase, the T20 phase and the T30 phase.
