Embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The terms used in implementations of the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. The following specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.
The light-emitting device in the embodiments of the present application may be any one of an OLED, a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) and a sub-millimeter light-emitting diode (Mini Light Emitting Diodes, Mini LED). In the following, the embodiment will take the OLED as an example for exemplary description.
The display panel provided by an embodiment of the present application may include multiple pixel units, and each pixel unit may include multiple sub-pixel units.
The first power supply VDD may output a high-potential voltage, and the second power supply VEE can output a low-potential voltage.
The pixel drive circuit may include: a first data input circuit 10, a second data input circuit 20, a current regulation circuit 30, a first energy storage circuit 40, a second energy storage circuit 50, a first light-emitting control circuit 60 and a second light-emitting control circuit 70.
The first data input circuit 10 is in electrical connection with a control end of the first light-emitting control circuit 60, and is configured to output a data voltage to the control end of the first light-emitting control circuit 60 in a reset phase and a compensation phase. The second data input circuit 20 is in electrical connection with a control end of the second light-emitting control circuit 70, and is configured to output a data voltage to the control end of the second light-emitting control circuit 70 in the reset phase and the compensation phase.
The first energy storage circuit 40 is connected between the control end and an output of the first light-emitting control circuit 60. The second energy storage circuit 50 is connected between the control end and an output of the second light-emitting control circuit 70. Both the first energy storage circuit 40 and the second energy storage circuit 50 are configured to store electric energy.
An input of the first light-emitting control circuit 60 and an input of the second light-emitting control circuit 70 are in electrical connection with the first power supply VDD. The output of the first light-emitting control circuit 60 is in electrical connection with an anode of the first light-emitting device OLED1, and the first light-emitting control circuit 60 is configured to output a first driving current to the first light-emitting device OLED1 in a light-emitting phase. The output of the second light-emitting control circuit 70 is in electrical connection with an anode of the second light-emitting device OLED2, and the second light-emitting control circuit 70 is configured to output a second driving current to the second light-emitting device OLED2 in the light-emitting phase. Both a cathode of the first light-emitting device OLED1 and a cathode of the second light-emitting device OLED2 are in electrical connection with the second power supply VEE, and the first light-emitting device OLED1 and the second light-emitting device OLED2 emit light simultaneously.
The current regulation circuit 30 is in electrical connection with an output of the second data input circuit 20, and the current regulation circuit 30 is configured to regulate a voltage at the control end of the second light-emitting control circuit in the reset phase and the compensation phase, so as to regulate the second driving current in the light-emitting phase.
Since the first light-emitting device OLED1 and the second light-emitting device OLED2 are respectively driven by different light-emitting control circuits, the current regulation circuit 30 can adjust a brightness of the second light-emitting device OLED2 by regulating a driving current (i.e., the second driving current) of the second light-emitting device OLED2, to bring the brightness of the second light-emitting device OLED2 to be more closer to that of the first light-emitting device OLED1, thereby the difference in brightness of the first light-emitting device OLED1 and the second light-emitting device due to the difference in characteristics of the first light-emitting device OLED1 and the second light-emitting device can be reduced, and the uniformity of the display screen can be improved. Meanwhile, due to a decrease of the brightness difference between the first light-emitting device OLED1 and the second light emitter, the aging degree of the first light-emitting device OLED1 and the second light emitter will be closer, so that the probability that one OLED can still be used normally while the other OLED has aged and cannot be used normally is reduced, and thus the service life of the OLED can be prolonged.
The pixel drive circuit may further include a detection circuit 80 and a compensation circuit 90.
An input of the detection circuit 80 is in electrical connection with the output of the first light-emitting control circuit 60, an output of the detection circuit 80 is in electrical connection with an input of the compensation circuit 90, and the detection circuit 80 is configured to detect the first driving current output from the first light-emitting control circuit 60 in the light emitting phase.
An output of the compensation circuit 90 is in electrical connection with the first data input circuit 10, and the compensation circuit 90 is configured to regulate the data voltage output from the first data input circuit 10 according to the first driving current in the reset phase and the compensation phase. The driving current of the first light-emitting device OLED1 of each sub-pixel may be regulated through the detection circuit 80 and the compensation circuit 90, to enable the driving current of the first light-emitting device OLED1 of each sub-pixel to be closer to each other under the same gray scale, so as to improve the uniformity of the display screen.
OLED1 may include a first anode, a first electron transport layer, a first light-emitting layer, a first hole transport layer and a first cathode, arranged in sequence from bottom to top.
OLED2 may include a second anode, a second electron transport layer, a second light-emitting layer, a second hole transport layer and a second cathode, arranged in sequence from bottom to top.
An encapsulation layer may also be arranged between OLED1 and OLED2.
Materials of the first cathode, the encapsulation layer, the second anode and the second cathode may be transparent conductive materials, so that light emitted from the first light-emitting layer of the OLED1 can pass through.
A control electrode of the first switch T1 is in electrical connection with an output of the first scan line Scan1, a first electrode of the first switch T1 is in electrical connection with an output of the voltage signal line Vcom, and a second electrode of the first switch T1 is in electrical connection with the output of the second data input circuit 20.
A voltage output from the voltage signal line Vcom may be preset. For example, before the display panel leaves a factory, the output voltage of the voltage signal line Vcom may be determined by detecting the brightness of the first light-emitting device OLED1 and the second light-emitting device OLED2. The voltage may enable the difference between the brightness of the second light-emitting device OLED2 and the brightness of the first light-emitting device OLED1 to be smaller than a target threshold. In this way, a regulation to the voltage output from the voltage signal line Vcom will not be needed after the device leaves the factory, which can reduce power consumption. Since the brightness difference between the first light-emitting device OLED1 and the second light-emitting device OLED2 may be increased again after the first light-emitting device OLED1 and the second light-emitting device OLED2 have been operated for a period of time, a detection on the brightness difference between the device OLED1 and the second light-emitting device OLED2 may also be performed at each startup, and then the voltage output from the voltage signal line Vcom is regulated according to the brightness of the first and second light-emitting devices OLED1, OLED2, to reduce the difference in brightness of the first light-emitting device OLED1 and the second light-emitting device OLED2 that is increased again after being operated for a period of time, and to improve the uniformity of the display screen.
The first data input circuit 10 may include a second switch T2, a data line Data, and a first scan line Scan1. The second data input circuit 20 may include a third switch T3, the data line Data, and the first scan line Scan1.

The control electrodes of the first switch T1, the second switch T2 and the third switch T3 may be connected to a same scan line (i.e., the first scan line Scan1), which can reduce the number of scan lines in the pixel drive circuit and reduce the complexity of the pixel drive circuit. In case that the control electrodes of the first switch T1, the second switch T2 and the third switch T3 are connected to the same scan line, the first switch T1, the second switch T2 and the third switch T3 are field effect thin film transistors of a same type, for example, all of the first switch T1, the second switch T2 and the third switch T3 are P-type field effect thin film transistors, or all of the first switch T1, the second switch T2 and the third switch T3 are N-type field effect thin film transistors.
The control electrodes of the first switch T1, the second switch T2 and the third switch T3 may also be connected to different scan lines, so that the types of the first switch T1, the second switch T2 and the third switch T3 may not necessarily be field effect thin film transistors of the same type, and P type field effect thin film crystals or N type field effect thin film transistors can be flexibly selected.
In this embodiment, that the control electrodes of the first switch T1, the second switch T2 and the third switch T3 are all connected to the same scan line, is taken as an example for exemplary description.
The detection circuit 80 may include a fourth switch T4 and a current sensor Sense.

The compensation circuit 90 may be integrated on a main control chip, or may be a section of circuit outside the main control chip. The compensation circuit 90 may include an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a data compensation unit.
The second scan line Scan2 may output a high level in the light-emitting phase, to enable he fourth switch T4 to be switched on, and the current sensor Sense detects the first driving current output from the first light-emitting control circuit 60, and transmits the current to the compensation circuit 90. The compensation circuit 90, upon receiving the current transmitted by the current sensor Sense, may convert the current through an ADC to obtain a current variation value, and then perform, according to the current variation value, an adjustment on the data voltage output from the data line Data through the data compensation unit in the next reset phase and compensation phase.
It can be understood that the second scan line Scan2 may also output a high level at each startup, to enable the fourth switch T4 to be switched on, so as to detect the first driving current.
The first light-emitting control circuit 60 may include a fifth switch T5, and the second light-emitting control circuit 70 may include a sixth switch T6.
Both a first electrode of the fifth switch T5 and a first electrode of the sixth switch T6 are in electrical connection with the first power supply VDD.

A second electrode of the sixth switch T6 is in electrical connection with the anode of the second light-emitting device OLED2, and a control electrode of the sixth switch T6 is in electrical connection with the second electrode of the second switch T2.
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 may be PMOS transistors or NMOS transistors. In case that the switch is a PMOS transistor, the first electrode of the switch is the source, the second electrode of the switch is the drain, and the control electrode of the switch is the gate. In case that the switch is an NMOS transistor, the first electrode of the switch is the drain, and the second electrode of the switch is the source and the control electrode of the switch is the gate. In this embodiment, that the foregoing switches are all NMOS transistors, is taken as an example for exemplary description.
The first energy storage circuit 40 may include a first capacitor C1, one end of the first capacitor C1 is in electrical connection with the control electrode of the fifth switch T5, and the other end of the first capacitor C1 is in electrical connection with the second electrode of the fifth switch T5.
The second energy storage circuit 50 may include a second capacitor C2, one end of the second capacitor C2 is in electrical connection with the control electrode of the sixth switch T6, and the other end of the second capacitor C2 is in electrical connection with the second electrode of the sixth switch T6.
An embodiment of the present application also provides a pixel drive method, which is applied to the above-mentioned pixel drive circuit. In the reset phase and the compensation phase, a first potential signal is input to the first data input circuit, the second data input circuit and the current regulation circuit, to control the first data input circuit, the second data input circuit and the current regulation circuit to be switched on; and a second potential signal is input to the detection circuit input, to control the detection circuit to be switched off.
In the light-emitting phase, the second potential signal is input to the first data input circuit, the second data input circuit and the current regulation circuit, to control the first data input circuit, the second data input circuit and the current regulation circuit to be switched off; and the first potential signal is input to the detection circuit, to control the detection circuit to be switched on.
The first potential signal may be a high-potential signal or a low-potential signal. In case that the first switch T1, the second switch T2, the third switch T3 and the fourth switch T4 are NMOS transistors, the first potential signal is a high-potential signal. In case that the first switch T1, the second switch T2, the third switch T3 and the fourth switch T4 are PMOS transistors, the first potential signal is a low-potential signal. In case that the first potential signal is a high-potential signal, then the second potential signal is a low-potential signal; and in case that the first potential signal is a low-potential signal, then the second potential signal is a high-potential signal. In this embodiment, that the first potential signal is a high-potential signal and the second potential signal is a low-potential signal, is taken as an example for exemplary description.
In the light-emitting phase, the first scan line Scan1 outputs a low-potential signal, the first switch T1, the second switch T2 and the third switch T3 are switched off, the fifth switch T5 and the sixth switch T6 are switched on, OLED1 and OLED2 emit light. The second scan line Scan2 outputs a high-potential signal, the fourth switch T4 is switched on, the current sensor Sense is configured to detect the first driving current output from the source of the sixth switch T6, and transmit the current to the compensation circuit 90. The compensation circuit 90, upon receiving the current transmitted by the current sensor Sense, may convert the current through an ADC to obtain a current variation value, and then perform, according to the current variation value, an adjustment on the data voltage output from the data line Data by the data compensation unit in the next reset phase and compensation phase, so that the driving current of OLED1 in each sub-pixel unit tends to be consistent under the same gray scale.
For example, when the data drive circuit 100 detects that the OLED1 in a certain sub-pixel unit is damaged, the data drive circuit 100 is capable of adjusting the brightness of OLED1 in other sub-pixel units by adjusting the data voltage output from the first data input circuit 10 of the other sub-pixel units, to enable the brightness of OLED1 of other sub-pixel units to be consistent with the brightness of the damaged OLED1. The current regulation circuit is configured to follow a brightness variation of OLED1 and regulate the driving current (i.e., the second driving current) of OLED2 (the second light-emitting device) to adjust the brightness of the OLED2, to ensure that the brightness of OLED1 and OLED2 of all sub-pixel units is the same, and to ensure that the brightness of each sub-pixel unit is the same, thereby improving the uniformity of the display screen.
The structure of each sub-pixel unit in the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application is similar, and will not be repeated here.
