Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of display technology, in particular to an AMOLED pixel driving circuit and a driving method thereof. Background technique [0002] Organic light emitting diode (Organic Light Emitting Display, OLED) display device has self-illumination, low driving voltage, high luminous efficiency, short response time, high definition and contrast, nearly 180° viewing angle, wide operating temperature range, and can realize flexible display and With many advantages such as large-area full-color display, it is recognized by the industry as a display device with the most potential for development. [0003] OLED display devices can be divided into passive matrix OLED (Passive Matrix OLED, PMOLED) and active matrix OLED (Active Matrix OLED, AMOLED) two categories according to the driving method, namely direct addressing and thin film transistor (Thin Film Transistor, TFT) matrix addressing two types. Among them, AMOLED has pixels arra...
