It should be noted that the transistors used in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be thin film transistors or field effect transistors or other devices with the same and similar characteristics, and since a source and a drain of the transistor used are symmetrical, there is no difference between the source and the drain. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, to distinguish the source and the drain of the transistor, one of the source or the drain is referred to as a first electrode, the other one of the source or the drain is referred to as a second electrode, and a gate of the transistor is referred to as a control electrode. In addition, the transistors may be divided into N-type and P-type according to the characteristics of the transistors, when a P-type transistor is adopted, the first electrode is the source of the P-type transistor, the second electrode is the drain of the P-type transistor, and the situation is opposite for the N-type transistor. An “active level” in the present disclosure refers to a level that can control the corresponding transistor to be turned on; specifically, for a P-type transistor, the active level corresponding thereto is a low level; for an N-type transistor, the active level corresponding thereto is a high level.
An operation process of the pixel driving circuit with an internal compensation function is substantially as follows: in a compensation stage, acquiring the threshold voltage of the driving transistor; in a light emission voltage writing stage, generating a light emission voltage capable of compensating the threshold voltage of the driving transistor according to a data voltage and the threshold voltage of the driving transistor, and writing the light emission voltage into a gate of the driving transistor; in a light emission stage, a drain of the driving transistor is electrically connected with the light emitting device to enable the driving transistor to output a driving current to the light emitting device.
In the related art, in the process of writing the light emission voltage into the driving transistor (i.e., in a light emission voltage writing stage), the drain of the driving transistor is generally in a floating state; due to a parasitic capacitance between the gate and the drain of the driving transistor, a voltage at the drain of the driving transistor changes accordingly during writing the light emission voltage into the driving transistor. The change of the voltage at the drain of the driving transistor may cause the bias stress applied to the driving transistor to be inconsistent, and the threshold voltage of the driving transistor may be shifted seriously, so that a serious hysteresis effect is generated, and further, defects of ghost, flicker and the like are caused.
To solve at least one of the technical problems in the related art, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide corresponding solutions.
A light emitting device in the present disclosure refers to a current-driven light emitting element including an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED), a Light Emitting Diode (LED), and the like. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the light emitting device being an OLED will be described as an example, the first electrode and the second electrode of the light emitting device refer to an anode and a cathode, respectively.
The data writing circuit 1 is connected with a first control signal terminal SC1 and a data line Data, and the data writing circuit 1 is configured to write a data voltage provided by the data line Data into the second node N2 under the control of a signal of the first control signal terminal SC1.

A first electrode of the driving transistor DTFT is connected with a first voltage input terminal, and the driving transistor DTFT is configured to generate a corresponding driving current according to the light emission voltage.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the voltage regulation circuit 4 is provided at the third node N3 in the pixel driving circuit, so that the voltage regulation circuit 4 can weaken, even completely eliminate, the influence of a parasitic capacitance between the gate and the drain of the driving transistor DTFT on the voltage at the drain of the driving transistor DTFT during the process of writing the light emission voltage into the gate of the driving transistor DTFT by the compensation control circuit 2, so as to maintain the voltage at the third node N3 to be stable, thus the bias stress applied to the driving transistor DTFT is substantially contant, and the threshold voltage of the driving transistor DTFT is substantially kept stable, therefore, the influence of the hysteresis effect can be weakened, and further, the problems of ghost, flicker and the like of the display device can be effectively improved.
In the process that the compensation control circuit 2 writes the light emission voltage into the gate of the driving transistor DTFT, the fifth transistor T5 is controlled to be turned on by a signal from the fourth control signal terminal SC4, so that a third voltage (which is a constant voltage at least in a light emission voltage writing stage) provided by the third voltage input terminal is written into the third node N3; that is, in the light emission voltage writing stage, the voltage at the third node N3 is always the third voltage, and the voltage regulation circuit 4 in the embodiment of the present disclosure can completely eliminate the influence of the parasitic capacitance between the gate and the drain of the driving transistor DTFT on the voltage at the drain of the driving transistor DTFT in the light emission voltage writing stage.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing the voltage regulation capacitor C2 at the third node N3, the influence of the parasitic capacitance between the gate and the drain of the driving transistor DTFT on the voltage at the third node N3 can be effectively weakened, so that the voltage at the third node N3 only changes slightly or remains substantially unchanged in the light emission voltage writing stage. That is, in the light emission voltage writing stage, the voltage regulation circuit 4 in the embodiment of the present disclosure can completely and effectively improve the influence of the parasitic capacitance between the gate and the drain of the driving transistor DTFT on the voltage at the drain of the driving transistor DTFT.

The detailed operation of the pixel driving circuit shown in
In the reset stage t1, a signal provided by the first control signal terminal SC1 is at a high level, a signal provided by the second control signal terminal SC2 is at a low level, a signal provided by the third control signal terminal SC3 is at a low level, a signal provided by the light emission control signal terminal EM is at a low level, and a signal provided by the fourth control signal terminal SC4 is at a high level. In this case, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, and the fourth transistor T4 are all turned on, and the first transistor T1 and the fifth transistor T5 are all turned off.
The third voltage Vref is written into the second node N2 through the third transistor T3 to reset the second node N2; a voltage VSS+Voled at the first electrode of the light emitting device OLED is written into the first node N1 through the fourth transistor T4 and the second transistor T2 to reset the first node N1; Voled is a voltage for turning on the light emitting device OLED (the magnitude of Voled varies with an operation state of the light emitting device OLED).
In the compensation stage t2, the signal provided by the first control signal terminal SC1 is at a low level, the signal provided by the second control signal terminal SC2 is at a low level, the signal provided by the third control signal terminal SC3 is at a high level, the signal provided by the light emission control signal terminal EM is at a high level, and the signal provided by the fourth control signal terminal SC4 is at a high level. In this case, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are all turned on, and the third transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 are all turned off.
The data voltage Vdata is written into the second node N2 through the first transistor T1; the first node N1 is charged by the first voltage VDD through the driving transistor DTFT and the second transistor T2, in a case where the voltage at the first node N1 is equal to VDD+Vth, the driving transistor DTFT is turned off, and the charging is finished; Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor DTFT. In this case, a voltage difference between two terminals of the coupling capacitor C1 is equal to VDD+Vth−Vdata.
In the light emission voltage writing stage t3, the signal provided by the first control signal terminal SC1 is at a high level, the signal provided by the second control signal terminal SC2 is at a high level, the signal provided by the third control signal terminal SC3 is at a low level, the signal provided by the light emission control signal terminal EM is at a high level, and the signal provided by the fourth control signal terminal SC4 is at a low level. In this case, the third transistor T3 and the fifth transistor T5 are all turned on, and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are all turned off.
The second transistor T2 is turned off, and the first node N1 is in a floating state. The third voltage Vref is written into the second node N2 through the third transistor T3, the voltage at the second node N2 is changed from Vdata to Vref, and under the bootstrap action of the coupling capacitor C1, the voltage at the first node N1 is changed from VDD+Vth to VDD+Vth+Vref−Vdata. That is, the light emission voltage of VDD+Vth+Vref−Vdata is written into the first node N1.
In the process of writing the light emission voltage into the first node N1, since the fifth transistor T5 is turned on, the third voltage Vref is written into the third node N3 through the fifth transistor T5, the voltage at the third node N3 is always maintained at Vref, that is, the bias stress applied to the driving transistor DTFT is substantially constant, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor DTFT is substantially kept stable, and the influence of the hysteresis effect can be reduced.
In the light emission stage t4, the signal provided by the first control signal terminal SC1 is at a high level, the signal provided by the second control signal terminal SC2 is at a high level, the signal provided by the third control signal terminal SC3 is at a low level, the signal provided by the light emission control signal terminal EM is at a low level, and the signal provided by the fourth control signal terminal SC4 is at a high level. In this case, the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are all turned on, and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2 and the fifth transistor T5 are all turned off.
The third transistor T3 continuously writes the third voltage Vref into the second node N2 to maintain the voltage at the second node N2 stable, which is beneficial to maintaining the voltage at the first node N1 stable; meanwhile, the driving transistor DTFT outputs a driving current I according to its own gate-source voltage Vgs, Vgs=VDD+Vth+Vref−Vdata−VDD=Vth+Vref−Vdata; and the following formula can be obtained based on a saturated driving current formula of the driving transistor DTFT:
K is a constant (a magnitude of K is related to electrical characteristics of the driving transistor DTFT). As can be seen from the above formula, the driving current I output by the driving transistor DTFT is only related to the data voltage Vdata and the third voltage Vref, but is not related to the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor DTFT, so that the driving current flowing through the light emitting device OLED is prevented from being affected by non-uniformity and drift of the threshold voltage, and the uniformity of the driving current flowing through the light emitting device OLED is effectively improved.
It should be noted that, in some implementaions, the process of the reset stage may not be performed; that is, the operation process of the pixel driving circuit includes only the compensation stage t2, the light emission voltage writing stage t3 and the light emission stage t4.

Meanwhile, the third operation voltage Vref may be written into the first node N1 through the fourth transistor T4 and the second transistor T2 to reset the first node N1. In the compensation stage t2, the light emission voltage writing stage T3 and the light emission stage T4, the fifth control signal terminal SC5 provides a low level signal, and the sixth transistor T6 is turned off.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing the second reset circuit 6, the first node N1 can be reset in the reset stage, and in this case, it is unnecessary to reset the first node N1 by using the voltage at the first electrode of the light emitting device OLED, and accordingly, it is unnecessary for the light emission control circuit 3 to electrically connect the third node N3 with the first electrode of the light emitting device OLED and allow a current therebetween in the reset stage.
