The positional relationship of the components is changed as appropriate in accordance with the direction in which each component is described. Therefore, the words described in the specification are not limited to the words described in the specification, and may be replaced as appropriate.
In this specification, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" are to be construed broadly unless otherwise specifically indicated and limited.

The exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be explained below by the operation process of the pixel driving circuit illustrated in fig. 4, and the pixel driving circuit in fig. 3 includes 7 transistors (the first transistor T1 to the sixth transistor T7), 1 storage capacitor C1, and 7 signal lines (the DATA signal line DATA, the first scanning signal line S1, the second scanning signal line S2, the initial signal line INIT, the first power supply line VDD, the second power supply line VSS, and the light emitting signal line EM), and all of the 7 transistors are P-type transistors.
In an exemplary embodiment, the operation of the pixel driving circuit may include:
in the first phase a1, which is referred to as a reset phase, the signal of the second scan signal line S2 is a low level signal, and the signals of the first scan signal line S1 and the light-emitting signal line E are high level signals. The signal of the second scan signal line S2 is a low level signal, which turns on the first transistor T1, and the signal of the initial signal line INIT is provided to the first node N1, so as to initialize the storage capacitor C and clear the original data voltage in the storage capacitor. The signals of the first scanning signal line S1 and the light emitting signal line E are high level signals, turning off the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, and the seventh transistor T7, and the OLED does not emit light at this stage.
In the second phase a2, which is referred to as a data write phase or a threshold compensation phase, the signal of the first scan signal line S1 is a low level signal, the signals of the second scan signal line S2 and the light-emitting signal line E are high level signals, and the data signal line D outputs a data voltage. At this stage, the second terminal of the storage capacitor C is at a low level, so the third transistor T3 is turned on. The signal of the first scan signal line S1 is a low level signal to turn on the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the seventh transistor T7. The second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on so that the data voltage output from the data signal line D is supplied to the first node N1 through the second node N2, the turned-on third transistor T3, the turned-on third node N3, and the turned-on second transistor T2, and the sum of the data voltage output from the data signal line D and the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 is charged into the storage capacitor C, the voltage of the second terminal (the second node N2) of the storage capacitor C is Vdata + Vth, Vdata is the data voltage output from the data signal line D, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. The seventh transistor T7 is turned on to supply the initial voltage of the initial signal line INIT to the first electrode of the OLED, initialize (reset) the first electrode of the OLED, clear the pre-stored voltage therein, complete the initialization, and ensure that the OLED does not emit light. The signal of the second scanning signal line S2 is a high level signal, turning off the first transistor T1. The signal of the light emitting signal line E is a high level signal, turning off the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6.
In the third stage a3, referred to as a light-emitting stage, a signal of the light-emitting signal line E is a low-level signal, and signals of the first scan signal line S1 and the second scan signal line S2 are high-level signals. The signal on the light emitting signal line E is a low level signal, which turns on the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6, and the power supply voltage output from the first power line VDD supplies a driving voltage to the first electrode of the OLED through the turned-on fifth transistor T5, the turned-on third transistor T3 and the turned-on sixth transistor T6, so that the OLED is driven to emit light.
During the driving of the pixel driving circuit, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (driving transistor) is determined by the voltage difference between the gate electrode and the first electrode thereof. Since the voltage of the second node N2 is Vdata + Vth, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is:
I=K*(Vgs-Vth)2=K*[(Vdata+Vth-Vdd)-Vth]2=K*[(Vdata–Vdd)]2
where I is a driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, that is, a driving current driving the OLED, K is a constant, Vgs is a voltage difference between the gate electrode and the first electrode of the third transistor T3, Vth is a threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, Vdata is a data voltage output from the data signal line D, and Vdd is a power voltage output from the first power line Vdd.
As can be seen from the above formula, the current I flowing through the light emitting device is independent of the threshold voltage Vth of the third transistor T3, eliminating the influence of the threshold voltage Vth of the third transistor T3 on the current I, and ensuring uniformity of luminance.
Based on the working time sequence, the pixel circuit eliminates residual positive charges of the light-emitting device after last light emission, realizes compensation of the grid voltage of the third transistor, avoids influence of threshold voltage drift of the third transistor on the driving current of the light-emitting device, and improves uniformity of displayed images and display quality of a display panel.
