具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本公开一些实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开所提供的实施例,本领域普通技术人员所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
除非上下文另有要求,否则,在整个说明书和权利要求书中,术语“包括(comprise)”及其其他形式例如第三人称单数形式“包括(comprises)”和现在分词形式“包括(comprising)”被解释为开放、包含的意思,即为“包含,但不限于”。在说明书的描述中,术语“一个实施例(one embodiment)”、“一些实施例(some embodiments)”、“示例性实施例(exemplary embodiments)”、“示例(example)”、“特定示例(specific example)”或“一些示例(some examples)”等旨在表明与该实施例或示例相关的特定特征、结构、材料或特性包括在本公开的至少一个实施例或示例中。上述术语的示意性表示不一定是指同一实施例或示例。此外,所述的特定特征、结构、材料或特点可以以任何适当方式包括在任何一个或多个实施例或示例中。
以下,术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。在 本公开实施例的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
在描述一些实施例时,可能使用了“连接”的表达。例如,描述一些实施例时可能使用了术语“连接”以表明两个或两个以上部件彼此间有直接物理接触或电接触。
发光二极管(例如有机发光二极管)为电流驱动型器件,如图1A所示为相关技术中的一种用于驱动该发光二极管的驱动电路,该驱动电路由一个驱动晶体管Td、一个开关晶体管Ts和一个存储电容Cst组成。在该驱动电路驱动发光二极管L发光时,开关晶体管Ts的栅极接收扫描信号端G的扫描信号,开关晶体管Ts导通,数据信号端DE的数据信号通过开关晶体管Ts输入到驱动晶体管Td的栅极,驱动晶体管Td打开,第一电压端VDD、发光二极管L和第二电压端VSS导通,驱动晶体管Td产生的驱动电流驱动发光二极管L发光。在此过程中,数据信号端DE上的数据信号向导通的开关晶体管Ts所连接的存储电容Cst进行充电,存储电容Cst存储的电能使驱动晶体管Td保持开启,以维持一帧画面显示所需的时间。
驱动晶体管Td的饱和电流公式为:
I=K(V gs-V th) 2  (1)
其中,K为与驱动晶体管Td本身特性有关的系数,Vgs为驱动晶体管Td的栅源电压,Vth为驱动晶体管Td的阈值电压。
在显示装置中,显示装置通常包括多个发光二极管L,相应的驱动这些发光二极管L发光的驱动电路也有多个。由于工艺制程的差异以及温度、器件老化等原因的影响,驱动晶体管Td的阈值电压Vth会产生漂移的现象,从而导致驱动晶体管Td提供给发光二极管L的驱动电流偏离目标电流值。由于不同驱动电路中的各个驱动晶体管Td的阈值电压Vth可能不同,因此,可能会导致各发光二极管L的发光亮度不一致,从而导致显示装置的显示不均匀。
为了改善驱动晶体管Td的阈值电压Vth漂移造成的影响,如图1B所示,在如图1A所示的驱动电路基础上增加了阈值电压补偿子电路101,以在驱动电路驱动发光二极管L发光前对驱动晶体管Td的阈值电压Vth进行补偿,消除阈值电压Vth漂移对显示装置的影响。
此外,在一帧画面显示完成,进行下一帧画面显示前,驱动晶体管Td的栅极可能存在残余电压。为了消除一帧画面残余的电压对下一帧画面显示的影响,如图1B所示,驱动电路中还包括复位子电路102,以在下一帧画面显示前,对驱动晶体管Td的栅极进行复位。
在相关技术中,如图1B所示,阈值电压补偿子电路101和复位子电路 102均电连接至第一节点N1(驱动晶体管Td的栅极),导致第一节点N1的电压受到阈值电压补偿子电路101和复位子电路102中的晶体管的影响。由于阈值电压补偿子电路101和复位子电路102均包括至少一个晶体管,晶体管存在漏电流,因此,会影响第一节点N1上的电压,从而导致Vgs发生变化。由公式1可知,Vgs变化,可能导致驱动电流I发生变化,从而导致发光二极管L的发光亮度改变,导致显示装置的显示画面发生闪烁(Flicker)现象。
在相关技术中,Flicker测试结果如表1所示。
表1
Figure PCTCN2021087044-appb-000001
如表1所示,在显示装置以低驱动频率(例如低于40Hz)驱动的情况下,显示装置M1和显示装置M2均存在Flicker现象,且随着驱动频率的降低,Flicker现象越严重。例如在驱动频率为40Hz时,Flicker现象为等级一(L1),在驱动频率为20Hz时,Flicker现象为等级三(L3)。当驱动频率为15Hz时,显示装置出现滚动异常显示,当驱动频率为7.5Hz时,显示装置出现严重的滚动异常显示。
上述Flicker现象产生原因为:如图1C所示,在发光阶段开始时,第一节点N1的电压为V1,在发光阶段持续时间内,阈值电压补偿子电路101和复位子电路102中的晶体管处于关闭状态,由于晶体管存在漏电流,导致在发光阶段,第一节点N1的电压不断变化。在发光阶段结束时,第一节点N1的电压为V2,在发光阶段的持续时间内,第一节点N1的电压变化量为△V。频率越低,一帧的时间越长,△V越大,发光二极管LED的亮度改变越剧烈,从而Flicker现象越严重。
本公开的一些实施例提供一种显示面板,如图2所示,该显示面板包括多个像素电路100。
在一些实施例中,如图2所示,该显示面板具有多个呈阵列排布的亚像素区P,每个亚像素区P设置有一个像素电路100。
如图3A所示,本公开一些实施例提供的像素电路100包括:驱动子电路10、第一复位子电路20、写入子电路30、发光器件40和发光控制子电路50。
驱动子电路10包括:驱动晶体管Td和存储电容Cst。驱动晶体管Td的栅极与第一节点N1连接,驱动晶体管Td的第一极与第二节点N2连接,驱动晶体管Td的第二极与第三节点N3连接。存储电容Cst包括第一存储电极和第二存储电极,第一存储电极与第一节点N1连接,第二存储电极与第一电压端VDD连接。

第一复位子电路20被配置为在初始化阶段,至少在第一复位信号端RE1接收的第一复位信号的控制下,将来自初始化信号端INI的初始化信号传输至第三节点N3。
写入子电路30,连接第一扫描端G1、第二扫描端G2、数据端DE、第一节点N1、第二节点N2和第三节点N3。第一扫描端G1被配置为接收第一扫描信号,并向写入子电路30输出该第一扫描信号。第二扫描端G2被配置为接收第二扫描信号,并向写入子电路30输出该第二扫描信号。数据端DE被配置为接收数据信号并向写入子电路30输出该数据信号。
写入子电路30被配置为:在初始化阶段,在第一扫描端G1接收的第一扫描信号的控制下,将第三节点N3上的初始化信号传输至第一节点N1,以对第一节点N1进行复位;在数据写入阶段,在第一扫描端G1接收的第一扫描信号和第二扫描端G2的接收的第二扫描信号的控制下,将数据端DE接收的数据信号写入至第一节点N1并对驱动晶体管Td进行阈值电压补偿。
发光器件40,包括阳极和阴极,阴极连接第二电压端VSS。示例地,该发光器件为有机发光二极管(organic light emitting diode,OLED)、微型发光二极管(Micro Light Emitting Diode,Micro LED),迷你发光二极管(Mini Light Emitting Diode,Mini LED)等。
发光控制子电路50,连接第二节点N2、第三节点N3、第一电压端VDD、第一使能信号端EM1、第二使能信号端EM2和发光器件40的阳极。第一电压端VDD被配置为接收电压信号,并向发光控制子电路50输出该电压信号。 第一使能信号端EM1被配置为接收第一使能信号,并向发光控制子电路50输出该第一使能信号。第二使能信号端EM2被配置为接收第二使能信号,并向发光控制子电路50输出该第二使能信号。此处,第一电压端VDD的电压信号为高电压信号,第二电压端VSS的电压信号为低电平信号。
发光控制子电路50被配置为在发光阶段,在第一使能信号端EM1接收的第一使能信号和第二使能信号端EM2接收的第二使能信号的控制下,将第一电压端VDD的电压信号传输至第二节点N2,并将驱动晶体管Td输出的电流传输至发光器件40,以使发光器件40发光。
本公开一些实施例提供的像素电路100,写入子电路30与第一节点N1(驱动晶体管Td的栅极)连接,第一复位子电路20与第三节点N3连接,与相关技术中的像素电路相比,只有写入子电路30与驱动晶体管Td的栅极直接连接。这样一来,对驱动晶体管Td的栅极电压的影响较小,在发光阶段,驱动晶体管Td的栅极的电压的变化量△V减小,从而对发光器件40的发光性能影响降低,进而可以改善显示面板的发光性能,降低Flicker现象的发生几率。
如图3B所示,为本公开的实施例提供的像素电路100以及相关技术提供的驱动电路中,驱动晶体管Td的栅极在一帧时间内的电压的模拟结果图。由图3B所示,在发光阶段,相关技术提供的驱动电路的驱动晶体管Td的栅极的电压由3.4V变为2.2V,电压变化量△V达到1.2V。本公开实施例提供的像素电路100的驱动晶体管Td的栅极的电压由3.6V变为2.9V,电压变化量△V仅为0.7V。由此可知,本公开实施例提供的像素电路100能够有效保持驱动晶体管Td的栅极电压,有利于改善Flicker现象。

S3、在一图像帧的发光阶段:向第一使能信号端EM1输入第一使能信号, 并向第二使能信号端EM2输入第二使能信号,以使发光控制子电路50将第一电压端VDD的电压信号传输至第二节点N2,并将驱动晶体管Td输出的电流传输至发光器件40,使发光器件40发光。
在一些实施例中,像素电路100的驱动方法还包括:在一图像帧的初始化阶段,向数据端DE输入数据信号,以进行预充电,这样有利于数据信号写入。

下面提供几种可能的实施方式,以对像素电路100及其驱动过程,进行说明。
像素电路100在一图像帧的驱动过程可以分为初始化阶段P1、数据写入阶段P2和发光阶段P3。
第一种可能的实施方式:
如图7所示,第一复位子电路20包括第一晶体管T1,第一子电路51包括第三晶体管T3,第二子电路52包括第四晶体管T4,第三子电路31包括第五晶体管T5,第四子电路32包括第六晶体管T6。第一使能信号端EM1和第二使能信号端EM2连接同一使能信号端EM。
如图8所示,在初始化阶段P1:第一复位端RE1输出的第一复位信号和第一扫描端G1输出的第一扫描信号的电位为低电平,使能信号端EM输出的使能信号以及第二扫描端G2输出的第二扫描信号的电位为高电平。
图7中第一复位子电路20在第一复位信号的控制下,将来自初始化信号端INI的初始化信号传输至第三节点N3。第四子电路32在第一扫描信号的控制下,将第三节点N3上的初始化信号传输至第一节点N1,以通过初始化信号对第一节点N1进行初始化,避免上一帧残留于第一节点N1的电信号对本帧画面造成影响。
如图9A(为图7所示的像素电路100在初始化阶段P1的等效电路图)所示,第一复位信号控制第一晶体管T1开启,初始化信号端INI输入的初始化信号经第一晶体管T1传输至第三节点N3。第一扫描信号控制第六晶体管T6开启,初始化信号经第六晶体管T6传输至第一节点N1。
此外,第一子电路51、第二子电路52和第三子电路31在初始化阶段P1均处于关闭状态。在此情况下,如图9A所示,第三晶体管T3、第四晶体管T4和第五晶体管T5均截止。如图9A所示,处于截止状态的晶体管以打“×”表示。
在初始化阶段P1结束时,第一节点N1的电位为V init
数据写入阶段P2:第一扫描端G1输出的第一扫描信号和第二扫描端G2输出的第二扫描信号的电位为低电平,第一复位信号端RE1输出的第一复位信号以及使能信号端EM输出的使能信号的电位为高电平。
图7中第三子电路31在第二扫描信号的控制下,将来自数据端DE的数据信号传输至第二节点N2。第四子电路32在第一扫描信号的控制下,将驱动晶体管Td的第二极和栅极短接,形成二极管结构,将第二节点N2上的数据信号写入至第一节点N1,并对驱动晶体管Td进行阈值电压补偿。
如图9B(为图7所示的像素电路100在数据写入阶段P2的等效电路图)所示,在数据写入阶段P2,第一复位信号的电位为高电平,第一晶体管T1截止。第二扫描信号的电位为低电平,控制第五晶体管T5开启,来自数据端DE的数据信号经第五晶体管T5传输至第二节点N2。与初始化阶段P1相同,在数据写入阶段P2第一扫描信号的电位仍为低电平,第六晶体管T6保持开启,将驱动晶体管Td的第二极和栅极短接,形成二极管结构,第二节点N2上的数据信号通过驱动晶体管Td和第六晶体管T6传输至第一节点N1。当第一节点N1的电位与第二节点N2的电位的压差减小至驱动晶体管Td的阈值电压Vth时,驱动晶体管Td截至。
在数据写入阶段P2结束时,第一节点N1的电位为V data+Vth,并将该电位存储于存储电容Cst中。
发光阶段P3:使能信号端EM输出的使能信号的电位为低电平,第一扫描端G1输出的第一扫描信号的电位、第二扫描端G2输出的第二扫描信号的电位和第一复位信号端RE1输出的第一复位信号的电位均为高电平。
图7中第一子电路51在使能信号的控制下,将第一电压端VDD的电压信号传输至第二节点N2。驱动晶体管Td在第一节点N1的电压和第一电压端VDD的电压信号的控制下,产生驱动电流。第二子电路52在使能信号的控 制下,将驱动晶体管Td输出的驱动电流,传输至发光器件40。
如图9C(为图7所示的像素电路100在数据发光阶段P3的等效电路图)所示,第一复位信号的电位为高电平,第一晶体管T1截止。第一扫描信号的电位为高电平,第六晶体管T6截止。第二扫描信号的电位为高电平,第五晶体管T5截止。使能信号的电位为低电平,第三晶体管T3和第四晶体管T4开启。第一电压端VDD的电压信号经过第三晶体管T3传输至第二节点N2。驱动晶体管Td在第一节点N1的电压和第一电压端VDD的电压信号的控制下,产生驱动电流。驱动电流经第四晶体管T4传输至发光器件40,使发光器件40进行发光。
在发光阶段P3,第一节点N1的电位为V data+Vth,第二节点N2的电位为Vdd,驱动晶体管Td的Vgs=Vg-Vs=V data+Vth-Vdd。
驱动晶体管Td开启后,当驱动晶体管Td的栅-源电压Vgs减去驱动晶体管Td的阈值电压Vth得到的值小于等于驱动晶体管Td的漏-源电压Vds时,即Vgs-Vth≤Vds时,驱动晶体管Td能够处于饱和开启状态,此时流过驱动晶体管Td的驱动电流I为:

上述参数只与驱动晶体管Td的结构、数据电压端DE输出的数据信号和第一电压端VDD输出的电压信号有关,与驱动晶体管Td的阈值电压Vth无关,从而消除了驱动晶体管Td的阈值电压Vth对发光器件40的发光亮度的影响,从而可提高显示面板的亮度均一性。
第二种可能的实施方式:
如图10所示,在第一种可能的实施方式基础上,第一扫描端G1和第二扫描端G2连接同一扫描端G。基于此,图10所示的像素电路100的时序控制图如图11所示。
如图11所示,在初始化阶段P1:第一复位信号端RE1输出的第一复位信号的电位和扫描端G输出的扫描信号的电位为低电平,使能信号端EM输出的使能信号的电位为高电平。
如图12A(为图10所示的像素电路100在初始化阶段P1的等效电路图)所示,在初始化阶段P1,第一复位信号的电位为低电平,控制第一晶体管T1开启,初始化信号端INI输入的初始化信号经第一晶体管T1传输至第三节点N3。扫描信号的电位为低电平,第六晶体管T6开启,初始化信号经第六晶体管T6传输至第一节点N1。
此外,使能信号的电位在初始化阶段P1为高电平,第一子电路51和第二子电路52处于关闭状态。如图11和图12A所示,第三晶体管T3和第四晶体管T4截止。
如图11所示,在数据写入阶段P2:扫描端G输出的扫描信号的电位为低电平,第一复位信号端RE1输出的第一复位信号的电位、使能信号端EM输出的使能信号的电位为高电平。
如图12B(为图10所示的像素电路100在初始化阶段P2的等效电路图)所示,在数据写入阶段P2,第一复位信号的电位为高电平,第一晶体管T1截止。扫描信号的电位为低电平,控制第五晶体管T5和第六晶体管T6开启,来自数据端DE的数据信号经第五晶体管T5传输至第二节点N2。第六晶体管T6开启,将驱动晶体管Td的第二极和栅极短接,形成二极管结构,第二节点N2上的数据信号通过驱动晶体管Td和第六晶体管T6传输至第一节点N1。当第一节点N1的电位与第二节点N2的电位的压差减小至驱动晶体管Td的阈值电压Vth时,驱动晶体管Td截至。
发光阶段P3,各晶体管的开启状态以及信号的传输过程,与第一种可能的实施方式中发光阶段P3相同,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,在第二种可能的实施方式中,在初始化阶段P1,由于扫描信号的电位为低电平,第五晶体管T5也处于开启状态,数据端DE也会输入数据信号,但是由于数据端DE和第一节点N1的电压压差小于数据端DE和初始化信号端INI的电压压差,并且数据端DE的数据信号传输到第一节点N1需要经过第五晶体管T5、驱动晶体管Td和第六晶体管T6,因此在初始化阶段P1,数据信号对第一节点N1的电压的影响较小。
如图13所示,为第二种可能的实施方式的像素电路100在一图像帧的驱动过程中,各信号的模拟结果。由图13可见,第一节点N1能够进行正常的初始化和数据信号的写入。
第三种可能的实施方式:
如图14所示,位于同一行的所有像素电路连接的第一扫描端G1和第二扫描端G2均连接一条扫描线GL,位于第n行的所有像素电路100连接的第 一复位信号端RE1(n)连接与第n-1行像素电路100连接的扫描线GL(n-1)。在此情况下,该像素电路100对应的时序控制图如图15所示,其驱动过程与上述第二种可能的实施方式相似,此处不再赘述。所不同的是,在第三种可能的实施方式中,在初始化阶段P1,与第n行像素电路100连接的第一复位信号端RE1(n)的第一复位信号由第n-1行的扫描线GL(n-1)提供。此处,n为大于等于2的正整数。
位于第n行的所有像素电路100连接的第一复位信号端RE1(n)连接与第n-1行像素电路100对应的扫描线GL(n-1),不用单独设置第一复位信号线RL1,可以减少显示面板的布线数量。
第四种可能的实施方式:
如图16所示,初始化信号端INI与发光器件40的阳极连接。在此情况下,可用发光器件40的阳极的残留电压对第一节点N1进行复位,从而可以减少显示面板上的布线数量。
示例地,像素电路100的结构如图17所示,对应的时序控制图如图18所示,该像素电路100的驱动过程与上述第一种可能的实施方式中相似。所不同的是,在第四种可能的实施方式中,在初始化阶段P1,利用发光器件40的阳极的残留电压对第一节点N1进行复位。
如图19所示,为本公开第四种可能的实施方式的像素电路100在一图像帧的驱动过程中,各信号的模拟结果。由图19可见,第一节点N1能够进行正常的初始化和数据信号的写入。
第五种可能的实施方式:
如图20所示,第二子电路52与第一复位子电路20复用,第一复位信号端RE1与第二使能信号端EM2为同一信号端EM_S。
该信号端EM_S被配置在初始化阶段P1输出第一复位信号,在发光阶段P3输出第二使能信号。
示例地,像素电路100的结构如图21所示,对应的时序控制图如图22所示。该像素电路100的驱动过程如下。
如图22所示,信号端EM_S输出控制信号,该控制信号包括第一复位信号和第二使能信号。第一扫描端G1输出第一扫描信号,第二扫描端G2输出第二扫描信号。第一使能信号端EM1输出第一使能信号。
在初始化阶段P1:第一复位信号的电位为低电平。第一扫描信号的电位为低电平。第一使能信号和第二扫描信号的电位均为高电平。
如图23A(为图21所示的像素电路100在初始化阶段P1的等效电路图) 所示,在初始化阶段P1,第一复位信号的电位为低电平,控制第四晶体管T4开启,发光器件40的阳极电压经第四晶体管T4传输至第三节点N3。第一扫描信号的电位为低电平开启信号,第六晶体管T6开启,第三节点N3的电压经第六晶体管T6传输至第一节点N1,从而对第一节点N1进行复位。
第一子电路51和第三子电路31在初始化阶段P1处于关闭状态。在此情况下,如图23A所示,第三晶体管T3和第五晶体管T5截止。
数据写入阶段P2:第一扫描信号和第二扫描信号的电位为低电平。控制信号的电位为高电平。第一使能信号的电位为高电平。

发光阶段P3:第一使能信号的电位为低电平。第二使能信号的电位为低电平。第一扫描信号、第二扫描信号的电位为高电平。
如图23C(为图21所示的像素电路100在数据发光阶段P3的等效电路图)所示,在发光阶段P3,第一扫描信号的电位为高电平,第六晶体管T6截止。第二扫描信号的电位为高电平,第五晶体管T5截止。第一使能信号的电位和第二使能信号的电位均为低电平,第三晶体管T3和第四晶体管T4开启。第一电压端VDD的电压信号经过第三晶体管T3传输至第二节点N2。驱动晶体管Td在第一节点N1和第一电压端VDD的电压信号的控制下,产生驱动电流。驱动电流经第四晶体管T4传输至发光器件40,使发光器件40进行发光。
将第二子电路52与第一复位子电路20复用,从而可减少至少一个晶体管,进一步简化像素电路100。
如图24所示,为本公开第五种可能的实施方式的像素电路100在一图像帧的驱动过程中,各信号的模拟结果。由图24可见,第一节点N1能够进行正常的初始化和数据信号的写入。
第六种可能的实施方式:

第九晶体管T9的栅极与第一复位信号端RE1连接,第九晶体管T9的第一极与初始化信号端INI连接,第九晶体管T9的第二极与第四节点N4连接。
第一子电路51、第二子电路52、第三子电路31的结构可参考第一种可能实施方式中第一子电路51、第二子电路52、第三子电路31,在此不再赘述。
第一扫描端G1和第二扫描端G2连接同一扫描端G。第一使能信号端EM1和第二使能信号端EM2连接同一使能信号端EM。
该像素电路100对应的时序控制图如图26所示。第一复位信号端RE1输出第一复位信号,扫描端G输出的扫描信号,使能信号端EM输出使能信号,初始化信号端INI输出初始化信号。
初始化阶段P1:第一复位信号的电位和扫描信号的电位为低电平,使能信号的电位为高电平。
如图27A(为图25所示的像素电路100在初始化阶段P1的等效电路图)所示,在初始化阶段P1,第一复位信号的电位为低电平,控制第九晶体管T9开启。初始化信号端INI输出的初始化信号经第九晶体管T9传输至第四节点N4。示例的,在初始化阶段P1,初始化信号的电位为第一电平,例如为-2.5V。扫描信号的电位为低电平,第七晶体管T7和第八晶体管T8开启,第一电平经第七晶体管T7和第八晶体管T8分别传输至第一节点N1和第三节点N3。
在初始化阶段P1,使能信号的电位为高电平,第三晶体管T3和第四晶体管T4截止。
示例地,在初始化阶段P1,数据端DE也可以输入数据信号,以进行预充电,有利于数据信号写入。
数据写入阶段P2:扫描信号的电位为低电平,第一复位信号的电位和使能信号的电位为高电平。
如图27B(为图25所示的像素电路100在数据写入阶段P2的等效电路图)所示,在数据写入阶段P2,第一复位信号的电位为高电平,第九晶体管T9截止。扫描信号的电位为低电平,第五晶体管T5开启,来自数据端DE的 数据信号经第五晶体管T5传输至第二节点N2。第七晶体管T7和第八晶体管T8开启,使驱动晶体管Td的第二极和栅极短接,形成二极管结构,第二节点N2上的数据信号通过驱动晶体管Td、第七晶体管T7和第八晶体管T8传输至第一节点N1。当第一节点N1的电位与第二节点N2的电位的压差减小至驱动晶体管Td的阈值电压Vth时,驱动晶体管Td截至。
发光阶段P3:第一复位信号和使能信号的电位为低电平,扫描信号的电位为高电平。
如图27C(为图25所示的像素电路100在数据发光阶段P3的等效电路图)所示,在发光阶段P3,第一复位信号的电位为低电平,控制第九晶体管T9开启。初始化信号的电位为第二电平,该第二电平经第九晶体管T9传输至第四节点N4。示例的,在发光阶段P3,第二电平例如为4.5V。
扫描信号的电位为高电平,第五晶体管T5、第七晶体管T7和第八晶体管T8截止。
使能信号的电位为低电平,第三晶体管T3和第四晶体管T4开启。第一电压端VDD的电压信号经过第三晶体管T3传输至第二节点N2。驱动晶体管Td在第一节点N1的电位和第一电压端VDD的电压信号的控制下,产生驱动电流。驱动电流经第四晶体管T4传输至发光器件40,使发光器件40进行发光。
在该像素电路中,在发光阶段P3,初始化信号的第二电平经第九晶体管T9传输至第四节点N4,且该第二电平为高电平,这样使第一节点N1和第四节点N4之间的压差减小,从而减小第一节点N1向第四节点N4的漏电流,进而可以更好地保持第一节点N1在一帧时间内的电压,进一步降低Flicker现象的发生几率。
如图28所示,为本公开第六种可能的实施方式的像素电路100在一图像帧的驱动过程中,各信号的模拟结果。由图28可见,第一节点N1能够进行正常的初始化和数据信号的写入。

第二复位子电路60可对发光器件40的阳极进行复位,避免在一帧画面结束时,发光器件40的阳极的残留电压对下一帧画面的影响。
在一些实施例中,上述第二复位信号端RE2和第一复位信号端RE1连接同一复位信号端。这样可简化像素电路100的结构。
需要说明的是,在第一复位信号端RE1和第二复位信号端RE2连接同一复位信号端的情况下,第一复位信号和第二复位信号为相同的复位信号。在此情况下,第二复位子电路60被配置为在初始化阶段P1,将来自初始化信号端INI的初始化信号传输至发光器件40的阳极,对发光器件40的阳极进行复位。
