Abstract

The invention belonging to the technical field of displaying discloses a pixel circuit and a driving method thereof, a display panel and a display device. The pixel circuit comprises a driving transistor with a double-gate structure, a first switching transistor, a second switching transistor, a third switching transistor, a fourth switching transistor, a first capacitor, a second capacitor and a light-emitting device. All the transistors and the capacitors cooperate with each other to compensate a threshold voltage of the driving transistor, so that the driving current for driving the light-emitting device to emit light is only associated with a voltage of a data signal and thus the influence on the light-emitting device by the threshold of a driving control module is eliminated. When different pixel units are loaded by using a same data signal, images with the same brightness are obtained, so that uniformity of image brightness of a display region of a display device is improved and the difficulty of gamma voltage adjusting by the pixel circuit is reduced. Moreover, the selection range of the data signal is further optimized, so that energy consumption is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of display technology, in particular to a pixel circuit, a driving method thereof, a display panel and a display device. Background technique [0002] Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) is one of the hot spots in the field of display research today. Compared with Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), OLED has low energy consumption, low production cost, self-illumination, wide viewing angle and response At present, OLED displays have begun to replace traditional LCD displays in display fields such as mobile phones, PDAs, and digital cameras. Among them, pixel circuit design is the core technical content of OLED display, which has important research significance. [0003] Unlike LCD, which uses a stable voltage to control brightness, OLED is current-driven and requires a stable current to control light emission. Due to the process and device aging, there will be non-uniformity in the threshold voltage Vth of the driving tra...
