Following the above example, in some examples, the first switch T1, the second switch T2, the third switch T3, the fourth switch T4, the fifth switch T5, and the sixth switch T6 can be enhanced metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, specifically, the first switch T1, the second switch T2, the third switch T3, the fourth switch T4, the fifth switch T5, and the sixth switch T6 can be a PMOS tube or NMOS tube; Preferably, the first switch T1, the second switch T2, the third switch T3, the fourth switch T4, the fifth switch T5, and the sixth switch T6 are all NMOS tubes, it should be understood that when a positive voltage is applied to agate electrode of the MOS FET of N-channel, due to the action of the electric field, the negative electrons of a source electrode and a drain electrode of the N-type semiconductor are attracted out and flock to the gate electrode, however due to the obstruction of the oxide film, electrons are concentrated in the P-type semiconductor between the two N-channels to form a current that break over between the source electrode and the drain electrode. It can be imagined that there is a ditch between two N-type semiconductors, the establishment of the gate electrode voltage is equivalent to building a bridge between them, and the size of the bridge is determined by the size of the gate electrode voltage. Thus, by controlling the intensity of each driving signal, that is, controlling the intensity of the reset signal, charging signal, and light emitting signal, the light emitting brightness of the display unit 5 can be controlled, which will be described in detail in subsequent examples, which will not be described here.

It should be understood that, before providing the reset signal to the display device, the driving method for the display unit 5 further comprises: determining whether a frame display signal is received, when receiving a frame display signal, it is necessary to display according to the display signal, and when the previous frame display signal is completed, a reset signal is provided to the display device.
