The initialization unit 102 is connected between a gate of the driving transistor Td and the initialization voltage terminal VI. The initialization unit 102 is configured to transmit an initialization signal Vinit to the gate of the driving transistor Td according to the initialization control signal. A gate voltage of the driving transistor Td is initialized.

The compensation unit 103 is connected between the gate of the driving transistor Td and one of a source or a drain of the driving transistor Td. The compensation unit 103 is configured to transmit the data signal Vdata with the function of compensating the threshold voltage to the gate of the driving transistor Td according to the compensation control signal, so as to compensate the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Td.

At least one of the initialization unit 102 or the compensation unit 103 includes two transistors connected in series. An active layer of at least one of the two transistors includes an oxide semiconductor, such that a low leakage current characteristic of the transistor whose active layer includes the oxide semiconductor can reduce a problem of large power consumption caused by a large leakage current of the transistor. Therefore, the display panel adopting the pixel driving circuit can reduce a power consumption of the display panel while meeting the requirement of high screen refresh rate.

In addition, the initialization unit 102 is connected between the gate of the driving transistor Td and the initialization voltage terminal VI, and the compensation unit 103 is connected between the gate of the driving transistor Td and one of the source or the drain of the driving transistor Td. Therefore, if the transistor included in the initialization unit 102 includes an active layer with the oxide semiconductor, an influence of the initialization voltage terminal VI on the gate voltage of the driving transistor Td can be reduced, and the gate voltage of the driving transistor Td is ensured to be stable. If the transistor included in the compensation unit 103 includes an active layer having the oxide semiconductor, the influence of one of the source or the drain of the driving transistor Td on the gate voltage of the driving transistor Td can be reduced, and the gate voltage of the driving transistor Td is ensured to be stable. Therefore, when the transistor included in the initialization unit 102 and/or the compensation unit 103 includes an active layer having the oxide semiconductor, the stability of the gate voltage of the driving transistor Td can be improved. Therefore, the problem of uneven brightness of the light-emitting device D1 is improved, the light-emitting stability of the light-emitting device D1 is improved, and the display quality of the display panel using the pixel driving circuit is improved.

Please continue to refer to FIGS. 1A to 1E. The first initialization transistor Ti1 and the second initialization transistor Ti2 need to be turned on at the same time, so as to initialize a gate voltage of the driving transistor Td.

Number of signal lines used in the pixel driving circuit is reduced, thereby saving a wiring space of the display panel adopting the pixel driving circuit.

In order to avoid that the reset transistor Ts may affect the light-emitting state of the light-emitting device D1 when the reset transistor Ts, the first switching transistor Ts1, and the second switching transistor Ts2 are controlled by the same light-emitting control signal Em, a conduction channel of the reset transistor Ts can be of a different type from a conduction channel of the first switching transistor Ts1 and the second switching transistor Ts2.

Optionally, the conduction channel of the reset transistor Ts is an N-type channel, and the conduction channels of the first switching transistor Ts1 and the second switching transistor Ts2 are P-type channels. That is, the reset transistor Ts is an N-type transistor, and the first switching transistor Ts1 and the second switching transistor Ts2 are P-type transistors.

A cathode of the light-emitting device D1 is connected to the second voltage terminal ELVSS.

Since the gate of the data transistor Tda and the gate of the second compensation transistor Tc2 are both connected to the fourth scan signal line PS(n), number of signal lines used by the pixel driving circuit can be further reduced.
