The gate of the transistor M2 is electrically connected to the source of the transistor M1, and the source of the transistor M2 is electrically connected to the power supply potential OVDD provided by the power supply device 21, and the polarity of the transistor M2 is not very strong. To the anode of the organic light-emitting diode 232, the cathode of the organic light-emitting diode 232 is electrically coupled to another power supply potential ovss provided by the power supply device 21, where 0VDD is greater than ovss. The closed end of the transistor M3 is controlled by the control signal EM to determine the electrical conduction state between the electrode and the source of the transistor M3.

The gate of the transistor M4 is electrically connected to the source of the transistor M3, and the gate and the source of the transistor receive the reference signal 因 due to the electrical connection. The capacitor c is electrically connected between the source of the transistor M3 and the interpole of the transistor M2. Here, the electrical connection point of the capacitor C and the transistor is labeled as node eight, the capacitor c and the transistor. The electrical connection point of Vt2 is marked as node 〇. It should be noted that the control signals SCAN, EM, data signal Vdata and reference signal Vref received by the respective illumination modules 23 in FIG. 2 are marked with the same element symbols, but are not used to limit: at the same time, each The control signals SCAN, EM, data signal Vdata and reference signal φ Vref of the illumination module 230 must have the same value. A specific operation process of any of the LED driving circuits 234 will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. FIG. 3 illustrates a plurality of signals SCAN, EM, Vdata, and Vref related to the LED driving circuit 234. Timing diagram. Specifically, in the T1 a temple segment, the control signal SCAN is adjusted to a high level, the control signal EM and the reference signal Vref are both adjusted to a low level, and the reference signal Vref is taken as a value. The transistor warfare is also in the on state, and the transistor M3 is in the off state; at this time, the potential at node A is (V1+Vth4), and the potential at 201135702 at node G is Vdata. Where Vth4 is the threshold voltage of transistor M4. In the T2 period, the control signal % collapse is adjusted to the low level, the control signal EM and the reference signal Vref are both adjusted to the high level and the reference signal Vref is taken as the value V2 (here, V2 is greater than V1), the transistor M3 is in the on state, the transistor M1 is in the off state, and the transistor PCT 4 cannot be turned on due to the reverse bias; at this time, the potential at the node A is 〇VDD, and the potential at the node G is [Vdata+0VDD-(V1). +Vth4)], the transistor M2 is turned on, and the current flowing through the organic light-emitting diode 232 is Ids=k(Vsg-Vth)2=k[(Vl • _Vdata)+(Vth4-Vth)]2 'where k is a constant As the threshold voltage of the transistor M2. Here, for the transistor M2 and the transistor M4 in the same light-emitting module 23A, the process difference based on the adjacent transistor is small and negligible, and Vth4=Vth can be considered as before, so Ids=k(Vl - Vdata)2 . It can be seen that the current Ids flowing when the organic light-emitting body 232 is in the light-emitting phase is independent of the criticality of the transistor and the power supply (IV) OVDD, which can eliminate the influence of the process factor and the power supply voltage drop on the current, and achieve the compensation effect.
