Therefore, it is possible to avoid that the voltage of the pixel electrode is charged to a target value after the residual voltage on the pixel electrode needs to be canceled during charging the pixel electrode by the charging module. As a result, the power consumption of the pixel electrode during the charging/discharging process can be reduced, and the charging/discharging time period of the pixel electrode can be reduced.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to a field of display technology, and more particularly to a pixel driving circuit and a display panel.


BACKGROUND

A thin film transistor liquid crystal display panel has many advantages such as thin body, power saving, and no radiation, and has been widely applied to various aspects of life, such as a small-sized smartphone, a video camera, a digital camera, a medium-sized notebook computer, a desktop computer, a large-sized home television, and a large-sized projection device.


As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional liquid crystal display panel includes a plurality of scanning lines extending in a transverse direction that are sequentially arranged from top to bottom, a plurality of data lines extending in a longitudinal direction that are sequentially arranged from left to right and insulated from the plurality of scanning lines, and a plurality of sub-pixels arranged in an array that are defined by the plurality of scanning lines and the plurality of data lines. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, each of the sub-pixels is provided with a pixel driving circuit. The pixel driving circuit includes a thin film transistor, and M and N are both preset as positive integers. For a sub-pixel in the Nth row and the Mth column, a gate of a thin film transistor T of the sub-pixel is electrically connected to the Nth scanning line G(N), a drain of the thin film transistor T of the sub-pixel is electrically connected to the Mth data line D(M), and a source of the thin film transistor T of the sub-pixel is electrically connected to a pixel electrode which is further electrically connected to a storage capacitor Cst and a liquid crystal capacitor Clc. Two electrode plates of the storage capacitor Cst are a pixel electrode and a common electrode CFcoN on the array substrate side, respectively, and two electrode plates of the liquid crystal capacitor Clc are a pixel electrode and a common electrode AcoN on the color film substrate side, respectively.


It may be known from the above that the pixel driving circuit of the conventional sub-pixel controls writing of the voltage of the pixel electrode by means of the thin film transistor. The thin film transistor is turned on to write a data line signal to the pixel electrode when its gate is connected to a high level signal. In addition, positive and negative polarities of the voltage of the pixel electrode are inverted once per frame. Therefore, when the voltage of the pixel electrode is changed from the first polarity to the second polarity, the first polarity is the positive polarity and the second polarity is the negative polarity, or the first polarity is the negative polarity and the second polarity is the positive polarity. Since the residual voltage of the first polarity is also present on the pixel electrode, and the first polarity and the second polarity are opposite electric polarities, it is necessary to cancel the residual voltage of the first polarity on the pixel electrode and then charge the voltage of the pixel electrode to a voltage of the second polarity. Therefore, the pixel electrode consumes a large amount of power during a charging/discharging process and needs a long time to make the voltage of the pixel electrode reach a target value.

The present application provides a pixel driving circuit and a display device, which are illustrated in detail below. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments of the present disclosure is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments.


Referring to FIG. 3, which is a first schematic structural diagram of a pixel driving circuit 100 provided in the present application. The present application provides a pixel driving circuit 100, including: a pixel electrode 10, a charging module 20, and a discharging module 30.


The charging module 20 is electrically connected to a data line D, a scanning line G, and the pixel electrode 10, and configured to write a signal of the data line D to the pixel electrode 10 under the control of a signal of the scanning line G.


The discharging module 30 is electrically connected to a signal control line S, a discharge electrode 40, and the pixel electrode 10, and configured to connect the pixel electrode 10 to the discharging electrode 40 under the control of a signal of the signal control line S.


Positive and negative polarities of the voltage of the existing pixel electrode 10 are inverted once per frame. Therefore, when the voltage of the pixel electrode 10 is changed from the first polarity to the second polarity, the first polarity is the positive polarity and the second polarity is the negative polarity, or the first polarity is the negative polarity and the second polarity is the positive polarity. Since the residual voltage of the first polarity is also present on the pixel electrode 10, and the first polarity and the second polarity are opposite electric polarities, it is necessary to cancel the residual voltage of the first polarity on the pixel electrode 10 and then charge the voltage of the pixel electrode 10 to a voltage of the second polarity. As such, the pixel electrode 10 consumes a large amount of power during a charging/discharging process and needs a long time to make the voltage of the pixel electrode 10 reach a target value.


However, in the present application, before the charging module 20 charges the pixel electrode 10, the discharging module 30 is used to connect the pixel electrode 10 with the discharging electrode 40 to release the voltage of the pixel electrode 10 by means of the discharging electrode 40, so that the voltage of the pixel electrode 10 is restored to zero or close to zero. Therefore, it is possible to avoid that the voltage of the pixel electrode 10 is charged to a target value after the residual voltage on the pixel electrode 10 needs to be canceled during charging the pixel electrode 10 by the charging module 20. As a result, the power consumption of the pixel electrode 10 during the charging/discharging process can be reduced, and the charging/discharging time period of the pixel electrode 10 can be reduced.


Specifically, the discharge electrode 40 may be a ground terminal. In addition, a voltage polarity of the discharge electrode 40 may be opposite to a voltage polarity of the pixel electrode 10, so that the discharge electrode 40 may release the voltage of the pixel electrode 10 so as to make the voltage of the pixel electrode 10 restore to zero or close to zero.


Referring to FIG. 4, which is a second schematic structural diagram of a pixel driving circuit 100 provided in the present application.

That is, two electrode plates of the storage capacitor are the pixel electrode 10 and the common electrode on the array substrate side, respectively. The discharge module 30 is configured to connect the pixel electrode 10 to the common electrode on the array substrate side under the control the signal of the signal control line S. As such, wiring arrangement of the pixel driving circuit can be reduced. The first common electrode 41 is generally connected to the ground terminal, or a voltage polarity of the first common electrode 41 is opposite to a voltage polarity of the pixel electrode 10, so that, when the pixel electrode 10 is connected to the common electrode on the array substrate side, the voltage of the pixel electrode 10 can be released and restored to zero or close to zero.


Referring to FIG. 5, which is a third schematic structural diagram of a pixel driving circuit 100 provided in the present application. In the embodiment, the pixel driving circuit further includes: a liquid crystal capacitor Clc, where a first electrode of the liquid crystal capacitor Clc is the pixel electrode 10, a second electrode of the liquid crystal capacitor Clc is a second common electrode 42, and the discharge electrode 40 includes the second common electrode 42.


The second common electrode 42 is a common electrode on the color film substrate side. That is, two electrode plates of the liquid crystal capacitor Clc are the pixel electrode 10 and the common electrode on the color film substrate side, respectively. The discharge module 30 is configured to connect the pixel electrode 10 to the common electrode on the color film substrate side under the control the signal of the signal control line S. As such, wiring arrangement of the pixel driving circuit can be reduced. The second common electrode 42 is generally connected to the ground terminal, or a voltage polarity of the second common electrode 42 is opposite to a voltage polarity of the pixel electrode 10, so that, when the pixel electrode 10 is connected to the common electrode on the array substrate side, the voltage of the pixel electrode 10 can be released and restored to zero or close to zero.

Specifically, when the signal of the (N−1)th scanning line G(N−1) is at a high level, the signal of the (N)th scanning line G(N) is at a low level, so that the first transistor T1 is turned off and the second transistor T2 is turned on. As such, the pixel electrode 10 in the Nth row and the Mth column is connected with the discharge electrode 40 by the second transistor T2, so that the discharge electrode 40 releases the voltage of the pixel electrode 10 in the Nth row and the Mth column to cause the voltage of the pixel electrode 10 in the Nth row and the Mth column to be restored to zero or close to zero.


When the signal of the Nth scanning line G(N) is at a high level, the signal of the (N−1)th scanning line G(N−1) is at a low level, so that the first transistor T1 is turned on and the second transistor T2 is turned off.
