DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Technical solutions in some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the described embodiments are merely some but not all embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained on a basis of the embodiments of the present disclosure by a person of ordinary skill in the art shall be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.


Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the description and the claims, the term “comprise” and other forms thereof such as the third-person singular form “comprises” and the present participle form “comprising” are construed as an open and inclusive meaning, i.e., “including, but not limited to.” In the description of the specification, the terms such as “one embodiment”, “some embodiments”, “exemplary embodiments”, “example”, “specific example” or “some examples” are intended to indicate that specific features, structures, materials or characteristics related to the embodiment(s) or example(s) are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. Schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment(s) or examples(s). In addition, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be included in any or more embodiments or examples in any suitable manner.


Hereinafter, the terms such as “first” and “second” are only used for descriptive purposes, and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with “first” or “second” may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term “a/the plurality of” means two or more unless otherwise specified.


In the description of some embodiments, the terms “coupled” and “connected” and their derivatives may be used. For example, the term “connected” may be used in the description of some embodiments to indicate that two or more components are in direct physical or electrical contact with each other. For another example, the term “coupled” may be used in the description of some embodiments to indicate that two or more components are in direct physical or electrical contact. However, the term “coupled” may also mean that two or more components are not in direct contact with each other but still cooperate or interact with each other. The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited to the contents herein.


Use of the phrase “configured to” is meant as an open and inclusive expression, which does not exclude devices configured to perform additional tasks or steps.


In some examples, a Gamma curve graph as shown in FIG. 14 is obtained by performing Gamma adjustment on a self-luminous light-emitting apparatus, where the abscissa represents gray scale and the ordinate represents brightness. For example, each gray scale corresponds to a data signal, the data signal corresponds to a driving signal, and when a light-emitting device in the light-emitting apparatus emits light according to the driving signal, a brightness of the light-emitting device is a brightness corresponding to the gray scale. As shown in FIG. 14, a slope of a portion of the Gamma curve corresponding to high gray scales is much greater than a slope of a portion of the Gamma curve corresponding to low gray scales. For example, a slope of a portion of the Gamma curve in a range from 230 gray scale to 255 gray scale is greater than a slope of a portion of the Gamma curve in a range from 51 gray scale to 77 gray scale; and a difference between a brightness when the 230 gray scale is displayed and a brightness when the 255 gray scale is displayed is larger than a difference between a brightness when the 51 gray scale is displayed and a brightness when the 77 gray scale is displayed.


In this case, when different high gray scales (e.g., two adjacent high gray scales) are displayed, a difference between two brightnesses corresponding to the two high gray scales is large, and a difference between two data voltages of two corresponding data signals is large. When different low gray scales (e.g., two adjacent low gray scales) are displayed, a difference between two brightnesses corresponding to the two low gray scales is small, and a difference between two data voltages of two corresponding data signals is small. As can be seen from the above, a range within which the data voltage can be adjusted is large when a high gray scale is displayed, and a range within which the data voltage can be adjusted is small when a low gray scale is displayed.


Therefore, when the light-emitting apparatus displays a low gray scale, more finely divided data voltages are needed to realize a corresponding low gray scale display. However, for the current light-emitting apparatus, due to the influence of cost and process, the minimum data voltage is limited (that is, the minimum data voltage output by a device for outputting the data voltage is limited), and thus the data voltage cannot be divided more finely when a low gray scale is displayed, resulting in deviation of gray scale and brightness that does not satisfy the Gamma curve.


Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a light-emitting apparatus. The light-emitting apparatus may be a lighting apparatus or a display apparatus.


In some examples, the light-emitting apparatus is the lighting apparatus, which is used as a light source to realize a lighting function. For example, the light-emitting apparatus is a backlight module in a liquid crystal display apparatus, a lamp for lighting or a signal lamp.


In some other examples, the light-emitting apparatus is the display apparatus for displaying images. The light-emitting apparatus may be a display or a product including a display. The display may be a flat panel display (FPD), a micro display, etc. For example, the display is a transparent display or an opaque display. For another example, the display may be a flexible display or a general display (which may be referred to as a rigid display). The product including the display may be a computer monitor, a television, a billboard, a laser printer with a display function, a telephone, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a vehicle-mounted computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a laptop computer, a digital camera, a portable video camera, a wearable display device, a viewfinder, a theater screen or a stadium sign, etc. Embodiments of the present disclosure do not particularly limit a specific form of the light-emitting apparatus.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the light-emitting apparatus 2 includes a plurality of light-emitting driving circuits 100 and a plurality of light-emitting devices L. A light-emitting device L is coupled to one light-emitting driving circuit 100. For example, each light-emitting device L is coupled to a respective one of the plurality of light-emitting driving circuits 100. The light-emitting driving circuit 100 is configured to provide a driving signal to the light-emitting device L, so as to drive the light-emitting device L to emit light.


As shown in FIG. 1, the light-emitting device L is further coupled to a second voltage terminal VSS. The second voltage terminal VSS is configured to transmit a direct current voltage signal, such as a low-level direct current voltage signal.


In some examples, a first electrode of the light-emitting device L is coupled to the light-emitting driving circuit 100, and a second electrode of the light-emitting device L is coupled to the second voltage terminal VSS. For example, the first electrode of the light-emitting device L is an anode, and the second electrode of the light-emitting device L is a cathode.


In some embodiments, the light-emitting devices L may be current-driven light-emitting devices, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), micro light-emitting diodes (Micro LEDs), mini light-emitting diodes (Mini LEDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) or quantum light-emitting diodes (QLEDs). Of course, the light-emitting devices L may also be voltage-driven light-emitting devices, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.


As shown in FIG. 2, the light-emitting driving circuit 100 provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure includes: a driving sub-circuit 10, a data writing sub-circuit 20, a compensation sub-circuit 30 and a control sub-circuit 40.


The control sub-circuit 40 is coupled to a first node M and a control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10. The data writing sub-circuit 20 is coupled to a first terminal 101 of the driving sub-circuit 10. The compensation sub-circuit 30 is coupled to the first node M and the control terminal G and a second terminal 102 of the driving sub-circuit 10.


The control sub-circuit 40 is configured to initialize a voltage of the first node M and a voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 in response to a second scan signal.


The data writing sub-circuit 20 is configured to write a data signal into the driving sub-circuit 10 in response to a first scan signal. The driving sub-circuit 10 is configured to output, from the second terminal 102 of the driving sub-circuit 10, the data signal written into the first terminal 101 of the driving sub-circuit 10 and a compensation signal.


The compensation sub-circuit 30 is configured to transmit the data signal and the compensation signal to the first node M in response to the first scan signal, and to adjust the voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 according to the data signal, the compensation signal, the initialized voltage of the first node M and the initialized voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10.


The driving sub-circuit 10 is further configured to output a driving signal for driving the light-emitting device L to emit light, according to the adjusted voltage of the control terminal G and a first voltage from the a first voltage terminal VDD transmitted to the first terminal 101.


For example, referring to FIG. 2, the second scan signal is provided by a second scan signal terminal Gate2. That is, the second scan signal terminal Gate2 is configured to transmit the second scan signal. The control sub-circuit 40 is coupled to the second scan signal terminal Gate2.


For example, referring to FIG. 2, the first scan signal is provided by a first scan signal terminal Gate1. That is, the first scan signal terminal Gate1 is configured to transmit the first scan signal. The data writing sub-circuit 20 and the compensation sub-circuit 30 are both coupled to the first scan signal terminal Gate1.


For example, referring to FIG. 2, the data signal is provided by a data signal terminal Data. That is, the data signal terminal Data is configured to transmit the data signal. The data writing sub-circuit 20 is coupled to the data signal terminal Data.


For example, referring to FIG. 2, the first voltage is provided by the first voltage terminal VDD. That is, the first voltage terminal VDD is configured to transmit the first voltage. For example, the first voltage is a direct current voltage, such as a high-level direct current voltage.


In the light-emitting driving circuit 100 provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the control sub-circuit 40 initializes the voltage of the first node M and the voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10, so that the first node M and the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 each have initial voltage. The data writing sub-circuit 20 writes the data signal into the driving sub-circuit 10, and the driving sub-circuit 10 output the data signal and the compensation signal. The compensation sub-circuit 30 inputs the data signal and the compensation signal to the first node M, and adjusts the voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 according to the data signal, the compensation signal, the initialized voltage of the first node M and the initialized voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10. In this way, after the data signal and the compensation signal are input, the voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 is related to the data signal, the compensation signal, the initialized voltage of the first node M and the initialized voltage of the control terminal G, and the driving sub-circuit 10 outputs the driving signal according to the adjusted voltage of the control terminal G and the first voltage transmitted to the first terminal 101, so as to drive the light-emitting device L to emit light.


Based on this, after the data signal and the compensation signal are input, compared to a case where the voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 is only related to the data signal and the compensation signal, the voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 in the light-emitting driving circuit 100 in the embodiments of the present disclosure is adjusted according to the data signal, the compensation signal, the initialized voltage of the first node M and the initialized voltage of the control terminal G, so that the voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 may be finely adjusted (e.g., may be finely reduced). In this way, when displaying a low gray scale, the light-emitting device L may obtain a smaller driving signal. Therefore, the driving signal corresponding to the low gray scale may be finely adjusted, and the brightness and the gray scale of the light-emitting device L are more in line with the Gamma curve.


In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3, the control sub-circuit 40 includes a second capacitor C2, a second switching device 12 and a third switching device 13.


The second switching device 12 is coupled to a second node H. The second capacitor C2 is coupled between the first node M and the second node H. That is, a first terminal of the second capacitor C2 is coupled to second node H, and a second terminal of the second capacitor C2 is coupled to the first node M. The third switching device 13 is coupled to the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10.


The second switching device 12 is configured to write a first signal into the second node H in response to the second scan signal. The third switching device 13 is configured to write a second signal into the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 in response to the second scan signal. In this case, the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 is initialized, and the initialized voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 is a voltage of the second signal. The second capacitor C2 is configured to initialize the voltage of the first node M according to a voltage of the second node H.


For example, referring to FIG. 3, the first signal is provided by a first signal terminal S1, that is, the first signal terminal S1 is configured to transmit the first signal. In this case, the second switching device 12 is further coupled to the first signal terminal S1. That is, the control sub-circuit 40 is further coupled to the first signal terminal S1, so as to receive the first signal.


Referring to FIG. 3, the second signal is provided by a second signal terminal S2, that is, the second signal terminal S2 is configured to transmit the second signal. In this case, the third switching device 13 is further coupled to the second signal terminal S2. That is, the control sub-circuit 40 is further coupled to the second signal terminal S2, so as to receive the second signal. In some examples, the second signal is a direct current voltage signal. For example, the voltage of the second signal is in a range from −5 V to 5 V, such as −5 V, −3 V, −2 V, −1 V, 0V, 1 V, 3V or 5V.


In addition, the second switching device 12 and the third switching device 13 may also be coupled to the second scan signal terminal Gate2 to receive the second scan signal.


In this case, the second switching device 12 transmits the first signal from the first signal terminal S1 to the second node H in response to the second scan signal from the second scan signal terminal Gate2, so that the voltage of the second node H is the voltage of the first signal. The third switching device 13 transmits the second signal from the second signal terminal S2 to the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 in response to the second scan signal from the second scan signal terminal Gate2, so that the voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 is the voltage of the second signal. That is, the initialized voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 is the voltage of the second signal, and a voltage of the first terminal of the second capacitor C2 is the voltage of the second node H, i.e., the voltage of the first signal. Since the second capacitor C2 can adjust a voltage of the second terminal of the second capacitor C2 according to the voltage of the first terminal of the second capacitor C2, the initialized voltage of the first node M is related to the voltage of the second node H. That is, the initialized voltage of the first node M is related to the voltage of the first signal.


In some embodiments, the first signal is the same as the data signal. In this case, the voltage of the first signal is the same as the voltage of the data signal.


In some embodiments, the first signal is different from the second signal. For example, the voltage of the first signal is different from the voltage of the second signal. For example, the second signal is a direct current voltage signal, and the first signal is a data signal.


In some examples, as shown in FIG. 4, the second switching device 12 is a second transistor T2. A control electrode of the second transistor T2 is configured to be coupled to the second scan signal terminal Gate2, a first electrode of the second transistor T2 is configured to be coupled to the first signal terminal S1, and a second electrode of the second transistor T2 is coupled to the second node H. In this way, when the second transistor T2 is turned on in response to the second scan signal from the second scan signal terminal Gate2, the second transistor T2 transmits the first signal from the first signal terminal S1 to the second node H, so that the voltage of the second node H is the voltage of the first signal.

In this way, when the third transistor T3 is turned on in response to the second scan signal from the second scan signal terminal Gate2, the third transistor T3 transmits the second signal from the second signal terminal S2 to the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10, so that the voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 is the voltage of the second signal.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the compensation sub-circuit 30 includes a first switching device 11 and a first capacitor C1. The first capacitor C1 is coupled between the first node M and the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10. That is, a first terminal of the first capacitor C1 is coupled to the first node M, and a second terminal of the first capacitor C1 is coupled to the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10. The first switching device 11 is coupled between the first node M and the second terminal 102 of the driving sub-circuit 10, and the first switching device 11 is configured to be coupled to the first scan signal terminal Gate1 to receive the first scan signal.


The first switching device 11 is further configured to transmit the data signal and the compensation signal to the first node M in response to the first scan signal. The first capacitor C1 is configured to adjust the voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 according to the voltage of the first node M after the data signal and the compensation signal are input, so that after the data signal and the compensation signal are input, the voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 is related to the data signal, the compensation signal, the initialized voltage of the first node M and the initialized voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10.


The first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are connected in series, a connection point between the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 is the first node M, and two terminals of the series structure are the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 and the second node H. Therefore, the series structure composed of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 divides voltages of the two terminals. That is, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 divide the voltages of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 and the second node H, so as to obtain the voltage of the first node M (i.e., the initialized voltage of the first node M).


In some examples, as shown in FIG. 4, the first switching device 11 is a first transistor T1. A control electrode of the first transistor T1 is configured to be coupled to the first scan signal terminal Gate1, a first electrode of the first transistor T1 is coupled to the second terminal 102 of the driving sub-circuit 10, and a second electrode of the first transistor T1 is coupled to the first node M.

A first terminal of the storage capacitor Cst is coupled to the control electrode of the driving transistor DT, and a second terminal of the storage capacitor Cst is configured to be coupled to the first voltage terminal VDD for providing the first voltage.


In this case, the data writing sub-circuit 20 writes the data signal into the first electrode of the driving transistor DT, the second electrode of the driving transistor DT outputs the data signal and the compensation signal, and thus a voltage of the second electrode of the driving transistor DT is a sum of the voltage of the data signal and a voltage of the compensation signal. The compensation signal is a signal that is used to compensate for a threshold voltage of the driving transistor. For example, the voltage of the compensation signal is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor DT.

In some embodiments, a control electrode of each transistor used in the light-emitting driving circuit is a gate of the transistor, a first electrode of each transistor is one of a source and a drain of the transistor, and a second electrode of each transistor is another one of the source and the drain of the transistor. Since the source and the drain of the transistor may be symmetrical in structure, there may be no difference in structure between the source and the drain of the transistor.

The above embodiments/examples do not limit the protection scope of the present disclosure. In practical applications, a person skilled in the art may choose to use or not to use one or more of the above sub-circuits according to situations. Various combinations and variations based on the above sub-circuits do not depart from the principle of the present disclosure, and details are not repeated here.


An operation process of the light-emitting driving circuit 100 in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below.


In some examples, referring to FIG. 7, an operation period of the light-emitting driving circuit 100 includes a first period Q1, a second period Q2 and a third period Q3. For example, referring to FIGS. 4, 6A and 6B, all transistors in the light-emitting driving circuit 100 are P-type transistors. In this case, all transistors in the light-emitting driving circuit 100 are turned on in response to a low-level signal and are turned off in response to a high-level signal.


In the first period Q1 in FIG. 7, referring to FIGS. 2, 5A and 5B, the control sub-circuit 40 initializes the voltage of the first node M and the voltage of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 in response to the second scan signal GA2 (e.g., a low-level voltage of the second scan signal GA2) from the second scan signal terminal Gate2.


For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the second transistor T2 in the control sub-circuit 40 is turned on in response to the low-level voltage of the second scan signal GA2, and transmits a first signal CTL from the first signal terminal S1 to the second node H. The third transistor T3 in the control sub-circuit 40 is turned on in response to the low-level voltage of the second scan signal GA2, and transmits a second signal COM from the second signal terminal S2 to the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10, i.e., the control electrode of the driving transistor DT.


In this case, a voltage of the second terminal (i.e., the terminal coupled to the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10) of the first capacitor C1 in the compensation sub-circuit 30 is the voltage VG of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10, i.e., a voltage VCOM of the second signal COM. The first terminal of the second capacitor C2 is coupled to the second node H, and thus the voltage VH of the first terminal of the second capacitor C2 is a voltage VCTL of the first signal CTL. Since the second terminal of the second capacitor C2 and the first terminal of the first capacitor C1 are both connected to the first node M, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are connected in series, and the first node M is the connection point of the series structure. Therefore, a voltage V1 on the first capacitor C1 is obtained by a formula

V is a voltage applied to the series structure, and V is equal to a difference of VH and VG (i.e., V=VH−VG=VCTL−VCOM). VG is equal to VCOM (VG=VCOM). A voltage VM of the first node M is obtained by a formula

CA1 represents a capacitance of the first capacitor C1, and CA2 represents a capacitance of the second capacitor C2.


In some examples, a value of z is in a range from 1 to 10, such as 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 or 10. The capacitance CA1 of the first capacitor C1 may be in a range from 0.1 pF to 10.1 pF, such as 0.1 pF, 0.5 pF, 1.5 pF, 2 pF, 3 pF, 5 pF, or 10.1 pF. The capacitance CA2 of the second capacitor C2 may be in a range from 0.1 pF to 10.1 pF, such as 0.1 pF, 0.5 pF, 1.5 pF, 2 pF, 3 pF, 5 pF or 10.1 pF.


In some examples, the second signal COM is a direct current voltage signal, such as a low-level direct current voltage signal. For example, the voltage VCOM of the second signal COM is 0, and the voltage VM of the first node M is

In addition, in the first period Q1, as shown in FIG. 8A, the first transistor T1 in the compensation sub-circuit 30, the eighth transistor T8 in the data writing sub-circuit 20, the driving transistor DT in the driving sub-circuit 10, and the sixth transistor T6 and the seventh transistor T7 in the light-emitting control sub-circuit 50 are all in an off state.

In the second period Q2 in FIG. 7, as shown in FIGS. 2, 5A and 5B, the data writing sub-circuit 20 writes the data signal DA from the data signal terminal Data into the first terminal 101 of the driving sub-circuit 10 in response to the first scan signal GA1 (e.g., a low-level voltage of the first scan signal GA1) from the first scan signal terminal Gate1. The second terminal 102 of the driving sub-circuit 10 outputs the data signal DA and the compensation signal. The compensation sub-circuit 30 transmits the data signal DA and the compensation signal to the first node M in response to the first scan signal GA1.


For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, the eighth transistor T8 is turned on in response to the low-level voltage of the first scan signal GA1, and writes the data signal DA into the first electrode of the driving transistor DT. The driving transistor DT outputs, from the second electrode of the driving transistor DT, the data signal DA written into the first electrode of the driving transistor DT and the threshold voltage of the driving transistor DT. The first transistor T1 is turned on in response to the low-level voltage of the first scan signal GA1, and transmits the data signal DA and the threshold voltage of the driving transistor DT to the first node M. In this case, the voltage V′M of the first node M is a sum of a voltage Vdata of the data signal DA and the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor DT (V′M=Vdata+Vth). The compensation signal is the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor DT.


Due to a coupling effect of the first capacitor C1, the voltage difference of the two terminals of the first capacitor C1 is kept at the voltage difference thereof in a previous period (i.e., the first period Q1). That is, in the second period Q2, the voltage difference of the two terminals of the first capacitor C1 is

In addition, in the second period Q2, as shown in FIG. 8B, the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 in the control sub-circuit 40, and the sixth transistor T6 and the seventh transistor T7 in the light-emitting control sub-circuit 50 are in an off state.


In the third period Q3 in FIG. 7, as shown in FIGS. 2, 5A and 5B, the light-emitting control sub-circuit 50 transmits the first voltage from the first voltage terminal VDD to the first terminal 101 of the driving sub-circuit 10 in response to the light-emitting control signal Em (e.g., a low-level voltage of the light-emitting control signal Em) from the light-emitting control terminal EM. The driving sub-circuit 10 outputs the driving signal according to the first voltage Vdd and the voltage V′G of the control terminal G, so as to drive the light-emitting device L to emit light.


For example, as shown in FIG. 8C, the sixth transistor T6 in the light-emitting control sub-circuit 50 is turned on in response to the low-level voltage of the light-emitting control signal Em, and transmits a first voltage Vdd to the first terminal 101 of the driving sub-circuit 10 (i.e., the first electrode of the driving transistor DT). The driving transistor DT outputs the driving signal according to the voltage V′G of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10 (i.e., the control electrode of the driving transistor DT) and the first voltage Vdd. The seventh transistor T7 is turned on in response to the low-level voltage of the light-emitting control signal Em, and transmits the driving signal to the light-emitting device L, so that the light-emitting device L emits light according to the driving signal.


In addition, in the third period Q3, referring to FIG. 8C, the eighth transistor T8 in the data writing sub-circuit 20, the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 in the control sub-circuit 40, and the first transistors T1 in the compensation sub-circuit 30 are all in an off state.


It will be noted that the driving signal for driving the light-emitting device L to emit light may be a driving current or a driving voltage, which is not limited here.


For example, the driving signal is a driving current. The driving current I is obtained by a formula I=K×(Vgs−Vth)2, where

A voltage of the gate of the driving transistor DT is the voltage V′G of the control terminal G of the driving sub-circuit 10, which is equal to

It can be seen that the driving current I is unrelated to the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor DT. Therefore, it is possible to avoid influence of the threshold voltage on the driving current output by the driving sub-circuit 10, thereby ensuring accuracy of the displayed gray scale.


For example, capacitances of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are equal, i.e., z is 1; the voltage of the second signal is zero, i.e., VCOM is 0 V; and the voltage of the first signal is equal to the voltage of the data signal, i.e., VCTL is equal to Vdata. Based on this, the driving current I is equal to

which is equivalent that a magnitude of the data voltage is changed into half of the magnitude of the data voltage written into the first terminal 101 of the driving sub-circuit 10, i.e., is changed from Vdata to ½Vdata, thereby reducing the magnitude of the driving current.


Therefore, for the light-emitting driving circuit 100 provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, by adjusting the capacitances of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2, the voltage of the first signal and the voltage of the second signal, a smaller driving signal is obtained. Based on this, when a low gray scale is displayed, the data voltage may be divided more finely, thereby improving the accuracy of gray scale display. As a result, the gray scale and the brightness is more in line with the Gamma curve.


In some examples, the capacitances of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are not equal, i.e., z is not equal to 1; and the voltage of the second signal is zero, i.e., VCOM is 0 V. Based on this, if a relationship between the voltage VCTL of the first signal and the data voltage Vdata meets a formula

,





the magnitude of the data voltage is changed into half of the magnitude of the data voltage written into the first terminal 101 of the driving sub-circuit 10, i.e., is changed from Vdata to ½Vdata. In this way, by adjusting the voltage of the first signal, the data voltage may be divided more finely to obtain a smaller driving signal when displaying the low gray scale.


The value of z determines a value of the voltage VCTL of the first signal CTL. The value of z may be determined according to the capacitances of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 during actual design and fabrication, so as to determine the value of the voltage VCTL of the first signal.
