The unit is ampere (A). The modulation relationship curve between the threshold voltage Vth and the bottom gate terminal voltage V BG of the double-gate structure transistor is shown in FIG. 4.
所述初始化单元22电连接所述第一节点P1,用于在初始化阶段,传送一初始化电压Vini至所述第一节点P1,以将所述驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压(Vth)调制成正值。在初始化阶段,所述第一节点P1写入初始化电压Vini,可以刷新上一帧信号;此时驱动晶体管T1由于底栅电压相比于所述驱动电压VDD为负,因此其阈值电压会被调制成正值。The initialization unit 22 is electrically connected to the first node P1, and is used for transmitting an initialization voltage Vini to the first node P1 during the initialization phase to modulate the threshold voltage (Vth) of the driving transistor T1 to a positive value . In the initialization phase, the first node P1 writes the initialization voltage Vini, which can refresh the previous frame signal; at this time, since the bottom gate voltage of the driving transistor T1 is negative compared to the driving voltage VDD, its threshold voltage will be modulated Into a positive value.

Specifically, in the compensation phase, the data writing unit 23 writes the reference voltage Vref into the driving transistor T1; the driving transistor T1 forms a diode connection, so that the potential of the first node P1 continuously rises, so The threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1 gradually decreases until the driving transistor T1 is turned off; at this time, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1 is maintained at a preset value (Vref-VDD), which plays a role of threshold voltage compensation. Moreover, when the driving transistor T1 is turned off, the threshold voltages of all transistors are modulated to the preset value, that is, the threshold voltages of all transistors are written to the same value, so as to achieve threshold voltage compensation under the same gray scale, And it can compensate for the case where the initial value of the threshold voltage is positive.

Assume that Vth1 to Vth3 are different initial values of the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor T1. In the initialization phase, the bottom gate (BG) end of the driving transistor T1 is written with the initialization voltage Vini, and the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor T1 is raised respectively through the gate regulation mechanism of the bottom gate of the double-gate device (to the corresponding vertical coordinate Vth1' ~Vth3', the corresponding abscissa is Vini-VDD); in the compensation phase, the top gate (TG) terminal of the driving transistor T1 is written with the reference potential Vref, at this time the driving transistor T1 forms a diode connection, and the bottom gate potential rises, making the driving transistor T1 When the threshold voltage Vth of all TFTs are modulated to Vref-VDD (corresponding to the ordinate Vth_com, the corresponding abscissas are respectively Vp3, Vp2, Vp1), the driving transistor T1 is turned off, thus turning off the threshold of all TFTs The voltage Vth is written to the same value, so as to realize the compensation of the threshold voltage Vth under the same gray scale, and can compensate the case where the initial value of the threshold voltage Vth is positive.
