Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, in particular to a pixel circuit, a driving method, a display substrate and a display device.

BACKGROUND

The biggest disadvantage of Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display products is a short service life. Before the light-emitting phase, a certain negative voltage is intermittently applied to the anode of the OLED, which can eliminate the positive charge inside the OLED material to prolong the life of the light-emitting material. The driving method is abbreviated as PCV driving.

In medium-sized products such as car computers and notebooks, the voltage value of the low-voltage signal connected to the cathode of the OLED is −5V, and the anode of the OLED needs to be supplied with a voltage of −7V to −9V, and the p-type transistor outputs a voltage of −9V under the condition of a gate voltage of −11V (in the case that the threshold voltage of the p-type transistor is −2V), this solution will increase the power consumption for the Gate On Array (GOA) circuit (that is the gate driving circuit arranged on an array substrate), and increase the delay time when transmitting the signals. In addition, too high negative voltage will reduce the reliability of Bias Temperature Stability (BST) of the TFT.

In the light-emitting phase t3, the potential of N3 is restored from Vr-Vth to VD. Due to the bootstrap effect of the storage capacitor C1, the potential of N2 becomes Vd-Vr+Vth+VD. Since T4 is turned on, the potential of N1 is also Vd-Vr+Vth+VD;

In the light-emitting phase t3, the calculation formula of the current value I of the driving circuit where T0 drives O1 to emit light is as follows:
