在0~t1时间段,所述扫描信号线及所述数据信号线输出高电平信号。
在本实施例中,所述第一薄膜晶体管T1的栅极与所述扫描信号线电连接,由于所述第一薄膜晶体管T1为N型晶体管,因此所述扫描信号线输入高电平信号将所述第一薄膜晶体管T1的开关打开,所述数据信号线输入的高电平信号从所述第一薄膜晶体管T1的源极输入至所述第一薄膜晶体管T1的漏极,并传输至所述第二薄膜晶体管T2的栅极以及所述第一存储电容C1的第一电极板。
由于所述第二薄膜晶体管T2为N型薄膜晶体管,因此所述第一薄膜晶体管T1传输过来的高电平信号使得所述第二薄膜晶体管T2的开关打开,所述像素单元的恒压高电平源VDD通过所述第二薄膜晶体管T2的源极输入至所述第二薄膜晶体管T2的漏极,并传输至所述第一存储电容C1的第二电极板及所述第一发光单元11的阳极。所述第一存储电容C1处于充电状态。所述第一发光单元11的阴极连接恒压低电平源,因此在0~t1时间段所述第一发光单元11发光。
所述第三薄膜晶体管T3的栅极接收所述扫描信号线输出的高电平信号,由于所述第三薄膜晶体管T3为N型晶体管,所述第三薄膜晶体管T3的开关打开,所述数据信号线输入的高电平信号从所述第三薄膜晶体管T3的源极输入至所述第三薄膜晶体管T3的漏极,并传输至所述第四薄膜晶体管T4的栅极。由于所述第四薄膜晶体管T4为P型晶体管,因此高电平信号无法将所述第四薄膜晶体管T4的开关打开,因此在0~t1时间段所述第二发光单元21不发光。

在本实施例中,所述第一薄膜晶体管T1的栅极与所述扫描信号线电连接,由于所述第一薄膜晶体管T1为N型晶体管,因此所述扫描信号线输入低电平信号无法将所述第一薄膜晶体管T1的开关打开,所述数据信号线输出的信号无法传输至所述第二薄膜晶体管T2。此时,所述第一存储电容C1处于放电状态,所述第一存储电容C1释放的高电平信号将所述第二薄膜晶体管T2打开,所述像素单元的恒压高电平源VDD通过所述第二薄膜晶体管T2的源极输入至所述第二薄膜晶体管T2的漏极,并传输至所述第一发光单元11的阳极。所述第一发光单元11的阴极连接恒压低电平源,因此在t1~t2时间段所述第一发光单元11发光。
由于所述扫描信号线输出低电平信号,因此所述第三薄膜晶体管T3的开关无法打开。而在0~t1时间段,所述第二存储电容C2没有进行充电,因此在t1~t2时间段所述第二发光单元21不发光。
在t2~t3时间段,所述扫描信号线输出高电平信号,所述数据信号线输出低电平信号。
在本实施例中,所述第一薄膜晶体管T1的栅极与所述扫描信号线电连接,由于所述第一薄膜晶体管T1为N型晶体管,因此所述扫描信号线输入低电平信号无法将所述第一薄膜晶体管T1的开关打开,所述数据信号线输出的信号无法传输至所述第二薄膜晶体管T2。而所述第一存储电容C1无电容释放,所述第二薄膜晶体管T2处于关闭状态,因此所述像素单元的恒压高电平源VDD无法传输至所述第一发光单元11的阳极。因此在t2~t3时间段所述第一发光单元11不发光。
所述第三薄膜晶体管T3的栅极与所述扫描信号线电连接,由于所述第三薄膜晶体管T3为N型晶体管,因此所述扫描信号线输入高电平信号将所述第三薄膜晶体管T3的开关打开,所述数据信号线输入的低电平信号从所述第三薄膜晶体管T3的源极输入至所述第三薄膜晶体管T3的漏极,并传输至所述第四薄膜晶体管T4的栅极以及所述第二存储电容C2的第一电极板。
由于所述第四薄膜晶体管T4为P型薄膜晶体管,因此所述第三薄膜晶体管T3传输过来的低电平信号使得所述第四薄膜晶体管T4的开关打开,所述像素单元的恒压高电平源VDD通过所述第二薄膜晶体管T2的源极输入至所述第二薄膜晶体管T2的漏极,并传输至所述第二存储电容C2的第二电极板及所述第二发光单元21的阳极。所述第二存储电容C2处于充电状态。所述第二发光单元21的阴极连接恒压低电平源,因此在t2~t3时间段所述第二发光单元21发光。
在t3~t4时间段,所述扫描信号线及所述数据信号线输出低电平信号。
在本实施例中,所述第三薄膜晶体管T3的栅极与所述扫描信号线电连接,由于所述第三薄膜晶体管T3为N型晶体管,因此所述扫描信号线输入低电平信号无法将所述第一薄膜晶体管T1的开关打开,所述数据信号线输出的信号无法传输至所述第二薄膜晶体管T2。此时,所述第二存储电容C2处于放电状态,所述第二存储电容C2释放的低电平信号将所述第四薄膜晶体管T4打开,所述像素单元的恒压高电平源VDD通过所述第四薄膜晶体管T4的源极输入至所述第四薄膜晶体管T4的漏极,并传输至所述第二发光单元21的阳极。所述第二发光单元21的阴极连接恒压低电平源,因此在t3~t4时间段所述第二发光单元21发光。
由于所述扫描信号线输出低电平信号,因此所述第一薄膜晶体管T1的开关无法打开。而在t2~t3时间段,所述第一存储电容C1没有进行充电,因此在t3~t4时间段所述第一发光单元11不发光。

由于在0~t1、t1~t2时间段,所述第一发光单元11及所述第四发光单元13发光,t2~t3、t3~t4时间段,所述第二发光单元21发光。因此在0~t2时间段,对应的显示设备发光亮度大于t2~t4时间段。当显示设备在暗光环境下,可以控制使像素单元处于t2~t4时间段。当显示设备在强光环境下时,可以控制使像素单元处于0~t2时间段。
本申请还提出了一种显示面板,所述显示面板包括上述像素单元。所述显示面板的工作原理与上述像素单元的相同或相似,本申请不再赘述。
本申请提出了一种像素单元及显示面板,该像素单元至少包括第一区和第二区;所述第一区至少设置有一第一发光单元,所述第二区至少设置有一第二发光单元。当所述像素单元处于工作状态时,所述第一发光单元、所述第二发光单元中的一者处于发光状态。本申请通过在一个像素单元内设置至少两个发光单元,一发光单元对应一驱动电路,通过对所述像素单元输入不同的驱动信号,使所述第一发光单元及所述第二发光单元交互工作,延长了有机发光二极管及薄膜晶体管的使用寿命,避免了显示面板出现残影等技术问题。
综上所述,虽然本申请已以优选实施例揭露如上,但上述优选实施例并非用以限制本申请,本领域的普通技术人员,在不脱离本申请的精神和范围内,均可作各种更动与润饰,因此本申请的保护范围以权利要求界定的范围为准。
