The first threshold compensation sub-circuit 3 includes a fifth transistor T5, a control end of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the emission control signal EM, a first end of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the second end of the fourth transistor T4 and the second end of the first storage capacitor C1, and a second end of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first end of the second storage capacitor C2.
The second initialization sub-circuit 6 includes a sixth transistor T6, a control terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the first scan signal Gate1, a first terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the second terminal of the fifth transistor T5 and the first terminal of the second storage capacitor C2, and a second terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is grounded.
The second threshold compensation sub-circuit 4 includes a seventh transistor T7, a control terminal of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the second scan signal Gate2, a first terminal of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the second terminal of the driving transistor DN, and a second terminal of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the control terminal of the driving transistor DN.

The fourth transistor T4 and the sixth transistor T6 are P-type transistors, and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the driving transistor DN, the fifth transistor T5, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8 are N-type transistors made of low-temperature polysilicon.
A Low Temperature polysilicon thin film transistor (LTPS) uses polysilicon deposition to form an active layer. LTPS has high electron mobility, fast reaction speed, high brightness, high resolution, and low power consumption.
An Oxide thin-film transistor (Oxide TFT) uses, for example, an Oxide semiconductor as an active layer of the TFT, such as Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO), and the Oxide semiconductor has a higher electron mobility and a better turn-off characteristic, and compared with LTPS, the Oxide semiconductor has a simple process and a higher compatibility with an amorphous silicon process.
Of course, the oxide thin film transistor may be other metal oxide semiconductors, such as Indium Zinc Tin Oxide (IZTO) or Indium Gallium Zinc Tin Oxide (IGZTO). The oxide thin film transistor can effectively reduce the size of the transistor and prevent leakage current, so that the pixel circuit can be suitable for low-frequency driving, and the resolution of a display panel can be increased.
In order to reduce the power consumption of the OLED, a low-frequency signal may be used to drive the pixel circuit, however, when the pixel circuit is implemented by using all P-type transistors, due to the fact that the leakage current of the P-type transistors is relatively large, the phenomenon of Flicker (Flicker) and the like may be generated by using the low-frequency drive, so that the use of the pixel circuit is limited. In the embodiment of the application, the pixel circuit adopts the pixel circuit of mixed N-type and P-type transistors, and the phenomenon of screen flashing can be overcome when the pixel circuit is used for low-frequency driving. Meanwhile, the N-type transistor has small leakage current, so that the aging problem of the N-type transistor is not required to be considered.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the reset and the data write are implemented in the first stage T1. The driving transistor DN is turned on in this stage, but since the eighth transistor T8 and the seventh transistor T7 are both turned off, there is no current in the driving transistor DN at this time.

Specifically, rest =1, gate1=0, gate2=1, em =0, the fifth transistor T5 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the sixth transistor T6 and the seventh transistor T7 are turned off. In the embodiment of the present application, light emission and voltage compensation are realized in the third stage T3. As shown in fig. 5.
The fifth transistor T5 in the first threshold compensation sub-circuit 3 is turned on to connect the voltage V of the first node N1 data Transmitted to a second node N2, the second node N2 having a voltage V data The voltage of the third node N3 is V according to the capacitor bootstrap DD +V th +V data The voltage at the first terminal of the driving transistor DN is V DD The driving transistor DN is turned on.
The eighth transistor T8 in the light emission control sub-circuit 2 is turned on, and the driving current of the driving transistor DN is applied to the light emitting element 7 to drive the light emitting element 7 to emit light.
It should be noted that the capacitor bootstrap mainly applies the characteristics of the capacitor, the voltage at two ends of the capacitor cannot change suddenly, and there is always a charging and discharging process to generate the voltage bootstrap and the potential bootstrap. The two-end voltage refers to the voltage of one side of the capacitor relative to the other side of the capacitor, when a certain voltage is kept at the two ends of the capacitor, the voltage of the negative end of the capacitor is increased, the voltage of the positive end is still kept at the original voltage difference of the negative end, and the voltage equal to the voltage of the positive end is lifted by the negative end.
Voltage V of first node N1 data The voltage of the second node N2 is converted into Vdata by the turned-on fifth transistor T5, and the third node N3 is bootstrapped by the voltage V of the second stage T2 DD +V th Is bootstrapped to V DD +V th +V data So the drive transistor DN also remains on at this stage.
The voltages at the nodes of the various stages are shown in the table below.
First stage T1 Second stage T2 Third stage T3
N1 V data V data V data
N2 0 0 V data
N3 V init V DD +V th V DD +V th +V data
In the third stage T3, the driving transistor DN works in a saturation state, and according to the current characteristic in the saturation state, the saturation current I flowing through the driving transistor DN and driving the light emitting element 7 to emit light satisfies the formula:
I=1/2*μ*Cox*W/L*(Vgs-V th ) 2
=K(V DD +V th +V data –V DD -V th ) 2
=K(V data ) 2
where K is a structural parameter, this number is relatively stable in the same structure and can be calculated as a constant. It can thus be seen that the operating current of the light-emitting element 7 is already not influenced by the threshold voltage V of the drive transistor DN th The influence of (2) is solved, the threshold voltage V of the driving transistor DN caused by the process and long-time operation is solved th Drift, therebyThe display unevenness is improved.
In the embodiment of the present application, the operating current of the light emitting element 7 is not limited by V DD Influence of size, therefore, in the present embodiment, V can be maintained DD And V SS Pull down V under the condition of constant differential pressure DD Such as: v DD The voltage is changed from 4.6V to 3V SS The voltage is changed from-2.4V to-4V, the charging amount of the capacitor is reduced, and the charging time is shortened.
According to the invention, the leakage current of the key position is reduced by introducing the oxide TFT, and simultaneously, one grid line is reduced, so that the power consumption of the display panel is reduced. By adjusting the compensation mode of the threshold voltage of the drive transistor DN, V is eliminated DD The influence of the voltage drop on the display uniformity is suitable for pixel driving of a large-size display panel. By adjusting V data The writing mode prolongs the writing time of the data voltage, ensures the writing precision and can improve the refresh rate of the panel.
