Problems solved by technology

In this driving method, the control lines of all pixel circuits on the panel are shared (that is, global control lines are used). However, since there is a large amount of waiting idle time in each row during the programming phase, the overall programming time is longer and the lighting time is shorter. short

Abstract

A pixel circuit is provided, comprising: a driving transistor and a light-emitting element connected in series between a first level terminal and a second level terminal, and a second transistor, a third transistor, a fourth transistor, a first capacitor, and a second capacitor A second capacitor is connected between the control electrode of the driving transistor and the second terminal of the light-emitting element, and the threshold voltage is stored through the first capacitor, thereby realizing threshold voltage compensation for the driving transistor and the light-emitting element, and then compensating for the pixel circuit display unevenness. According to the above pixel circuit, a display device is also provided, wherein both the first control line and the light emission control line are global lines. Also disclosed is a pixel circuit driving method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of display devices, in particular to a pixel circuit, a driving method thereof, and a display device. Background technique [0002] Due to the advantages of high brightness, high luminous efficiency, wide viewing angle and low power consumption, Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) display has been extensively studied in recent years and has been rapidly applied to a new generation of displays. The OLED display can be driven in two ways: passive matrix OLED (PMOLED) and active matrix OLED (AMOLED). Although the cost of passive matrix driving is low, it cannot realize high-resolution display due to crosstalk phenomenon, and the passive matrix driving current is large, which reduces the service life of OLED. In contrast, the active matrix OLED driving method sets a different number of transistors as current sources on each pixel, avoids crosstalk, requires less driving current, and lower power consumption, which increas...
