FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a conventional pixel circuit. The pixel circuit comprises at least one of a writing transistor T2, a driving transistor T1, a sensing transistor T3, a storage capacitor Cst, and a light-emitting device D1. A drain electrode of the driving transistor T1 is connected to a first power line, a source electrode of the driving transistor T1 is connected to an anode electrode of the light-emitting device D1. A cathode electrode of the light-emitting device D1 is connected to a second power line. An end of the storage capacitor Cst is connected to a gate electrode of the driving transistor T1, and the other end of the storage capacitor Cst is connected to the source electrode of the driving transistor T1. A first electrode of the writing transistor T2 is connected to a data line, a second electrode of the writing transistor T2 is connected to the gate electrode of the driving transistor T1, and a gate electrode of the writing transistor T2 is connected to a first scan line. A first electrode of the sensing transistor T3 is connected to the source electrode of the driving transistor T1, a second electrode of the sensing transistor T3 is connected to a reference voltage line, and a gate electrode of the sensing transistor T3 is connected to a second scan line.

The data line is used to transmit a data signal data. The first scan line is used to transmit a first scan signal WR. The second scan line is used to transmit a second scan signal RD. The reference voltage line is used to transmit a reference voltage signal Vref. The first power line is used to transmit a first power signal VDD. The second power line is used to transmit a second power signal VSS. A potential of the first power signal VDD is greater than a potential of the second power signal VSS.

At least one of the aforementioned transistors may all be N-channel thin film transistors, or may all be P-channel thin film transistors. Preferably, the present disclosure takes as an example that at least one of the aforementioned transistors are all N-channel thin film transistors for illustration.

The light-emitting device D1 may be an organic light-emitting diode, a micro light-emitting diode, a mini light-emitting diode, or a quantum dot light-emitting diode.

FIG. 2 is a timing diagram of signals applied on the pixel circuit shown in FIG. 1. A frame of time t-frame of the pixel circuit comprises the following stages.

Write stage t-wr: the first scan signal WR and the second scan signal RD are both high potential, the writing transistor T2 turns on to initialize a gate potential Vg of the driving transistor T1, and the sensing transistor T3 turns on to initialize a source potential Vs of the driving transistor T1. In this stage, a gate-to-source voltage difference between the gate potential Vg of the driving transistor T1 and the source potential Vs of the driving transistor T1 is Vgs(wr).

Light-emitting stage t-em: the first scan signal WR and the second scan signal RD are both low potential, and the writing transistor T2 and the sensing transistor T3 are cut-off. In this stage, the gate-to-source voltage difference between the gate potential Vg of the driving transistor T1 and the source potential Vs of the driving transistor T1 is Vgs(em).

However, in a driving process of the above pixel circuit, because a parasitic capacitance of the gate electrode of the driving transistor T1 is different from a parasitic capacitance of the source electrode of the driving transistor T1, the gate-to-source voltage difference (Vgs) of the driving transistor T1 is different between the write stage t-wr and the light-emitting stage t-em, so that a light-emitting current flowing through the driving transistor T1 during the light-emitting stage t-em is not ideal, resulting in a brightness offset.

In a display panel 100, different pixels are disposed at different locations. Due to a difference in a delay time of at least one of the first scan signal WR, the second scan signal RD, the data signal data, the reference voltage signal Vref, the first power signal VDD, and the second power signal VSS, a ratio of Vgs(wr) to Vgs(em) will be different, making brightness unevenness worse.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned technical problem of brightness shift caused by transmission loss of the data signal data, the present embodiment provides a compensation method for the display panel 100. As shown in FIG. 3, the compensation method comprises the following steps.

Step S10: selecting a rectangular test area in a display area of a display panel, wherein the rectangular test area is provided with one or more pixel circuits.

Each of the pixel circuits comprises a driving transistor T1 and a sensing transistor T3, and a first electrode of the sensing transistor T3 is connected to a source electrode of the driving transistor T1.

Step S20: obtaining a first average current value flowing through all the sensing transistors and a second average current value flowing through all the driving transistors in the rectangular test area.

Step S30: obtaining a first current curve and a second current curve flowing through the driving transistors based on the first average current value and the second average current value under different driving voltages.

The driving voltage is a gate-to-source voltage difference of the driving transistor T1, the first current curve Q1 is a current curve corresponding to the gate-source voltage difference of the driving transistor T1 before the light-emitting stage t-em, and the second current curve Q2 is a current curve corresponding to the gate-source voltage difference of the driving transistor T1 in the light-emitting stage t-em.

Step S40: determining a transmission loss coefficient of a data signal according to the first current curve and the second current curve.

Step S50: compensating the driving voltage of each of the pixel circuits in the rectangular test area based on the transmission loss coefficient.

The compensation method for the display panel 100 provided by the present embodiment first selects a rectangular test area 101 in a display area of the display panel 100, and then obtains a first average current value flowing through all the sensing transistors T3 and a second average current value flowing through all the driving transistors T1 in the rectangular test area 101, and then obtains a first current curve Q1 and a second current curve Q2 flowing through the driving transistors T1 based on the first average current value and the second average current value under different driving voltages, and then determines a transmission loss coefficient of a data signal data according to the first current curve Q1 and the second current curve Q2, and then compensates a driving voltage of each pixel circuit in the rectangular test area 101 based on the transmission loss coefficient. The transmission loss coefficient can compensate for a transmission loss of the driving voltage of each pixel circuit, thereby ensuring that a light-emitting current flowing through the driving transistor T1 in the light-emitting stage t-em is ideal without causing a brightness offset.

Since there is a certain difference between design parameters and process parameters of the display panel 100, an accuracy of obtaining the transmission loss coefficient through simulation is low. The present embodiment obtains the transmission loss coefficient actual measurement actual measurement such as current detection, which can overcome an influence of the difference between the design parameters and the process parameters on obtaining the transmission loss coefficient, and improve the accuracy of obtaining the transmission loss coefficient.

The first electrode may be one of a source electrode or a drain electrode, and the second electrode may be the other one of the source electrode or the drain electrode. For example, when the first electrode is a source electrode, the second electrode is a drain electrode, or, when the first electrode is a drain electrode, the second electrode is a source electrode.

Then, all the first currents are summed and divided by a number of the pixel circuits in the rectangular test area 101 to obtain the first average current value under the driving voltage. Similarly, all the second currents are summed and divided by the number of pixel circuits in the rectangular test area 101 to obtain the second average current value under the driving voltage. Then, the driving voltage is changed to obtain one corresponding first current and one corresponding second current under each driving voltage. Then, based on the corresponding first currents and the corresponding second currents under different driving voltages, the first current curve Q1 and the second current curve Q2 as shown in FIG. 7 can be obtained.
