Fig. 1 is a circuit schematic diagram of a pixel circuit provided in the present invention, and referring to fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a pixel circuit including a driving transistor M1, a light emitting element 10, and a shunting module 20.
The driving transistor M1 is used for driving the light emitting element 10, and the second pole of the driving transistor M1 is electrically connected to the first node N1.
The anode of the light emitting element 10 is electrically connected to the first node N1.
A first end of the shunting module 20 is electrically connected to the first node N1, a second end of the shunting module 20 is electrically connected to the shunting end V1, a control end of the shunting module 20 is connected to the first voltage signal V2, and the shunting module 20 is configured to generate a leakage current under the control of the first voltage signal V2 to shunt the driving current generated by the driving transistor M1 to the shunting end V1.
Specifically, the driving transistor M1 is used to generate a driving current, thereby driving the light emitting element 10 to emit light. Therefore, the light emission luminance of the light emitting element 10 is closely related to the operation performance of the driving transistor M1. When the light emitting device 10 displays low luminance, the current value of the driving current generated by the driving transistor M1 is small, and at this time, when the characteristics of the driving transistor M1 affected by the external environment change, the current value of the driving current changes greatly, which causes poor stability of the driving current, and thus the luminance change value of the light emitting device 10 is large, which affects the display effect.
In this embodiment, the pixel circuit includes a shunting module 20, a first end of the shunting module 20 is electrically connected to the first node N1, a second end of the shunting module 20 is electrically connected to the shunting end V1, a control end of the shunting module 20 is connected to a first voltage signal V2, when the light emitting device 10 displays low luminance, and the driving transistor M1 generates a driving current, the first voltage signal V2 controls the shunting module 20 to generate a leakage current, and a part of the driving current generated by the driving transistor M1 is shunted to the shunting end V1. That is, the controllable shunting module 20 of the first voltage signal V2 generates the leakage current, so that when the light emitting element 10 displays low luminance, the current value of the driving current generated by the driving transistor M1 is effectively increased, and at this time, when the driving transistor M1 is influenced by the external environment and the characteristics are changed, the current value change degree of the driving current is reduced, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the driving current, so that the luminance change value of the light emitting element 10 is reduced, and the display effect is improved. Illustratively, when the light emitting device 10 displays low luminance, the current value of the current flowing through the light emitting device 10 is I2, and the current value of the current leakage generated by the shunting module 20 is I1, so that the driving transistor M1 generates the driving current value of I3, where I3 is equal to I2 plus I1.
Moreover, when the light emitting device 10 displays high luminance, the current value of the driving current generated by the driving transistor M1 is large, and the influence of the leakage current generated by the shunting module 20 on the current value of the driving current generated by the driving transistor M1 is small, so that the shunting module 20 can be controlled to generate the leakage current in the working process of the light emitting device 10 (when low luminance and high luminance are displayed). Therefore, the first voltage signal V2 is a fixed voltage signal, the first voltage signal V2 controls the shunt module 20 to generate a leakage current, the current value of the driving current generated by the driving transistor M1 is adjusted by the leakage current generated by the shunt module 20, and the first voltage signal V2 can be adjusted according to the required magnitude of the leakage current before the light emitting element 10 works, so that the signal of the control end of the shunt module 20 does not need to be adjusted in the working process of the light emitting element 10, and the circuit has high implementability.

The present embodiment provides a driving method of a pixel circuit, wherein referring to fig. 1, the pixel circuit includes a driving transistor M1, a light emitting element 10, and a shunting module 20. The second electrode of the driving transistor M1 is electrically connected to the first node N1, and the anode of the light emitting element 10 is electrically connected to the first node. A first end of the shunt module 20 is electrically connected to the first node N1, a second end of the shunt module 20 is electrically connected to the shunt end V1, and a control end of the shunt module 20 is connected to the first voltage signal V2.
The driving method of the pixel circuit provided by the embodiment comprises the following steps: at least when the light emitting device 10 displays low luminance, when the driving transistor M1 generates the driving current, the first voltage signal V2 controls the shunting module 20 to generate the leakage current, and a part of the driving current generated by the driving transistor M1 is shunted to the shunting terminal V1.
Specifically, the driving transistor M1 is used to generate a driving current, thereby driving the light emitting element 10 to emit light. Therefore, the light emission luminance of the light emitting element 10 is closely related to the operation performance of the driving transistor M1. When the light emitting device 10 displays low luminance, the current value of the driving current generated by the driving transistor M1 is small, and at this time, when the characteristics of the driving transistor M1 affected by the external environment change, the current value of the driving current changes greatly, which causes poor stability of the driving current, and thus the luminance change value of the light emitting device 10 is large, which affects the display effect.
The pixel circuit in this embodiment includes a shunting module 20, a first end of the shunting module 20 is electrically connected to the first node N1, a second end of the shunting module 20 is electrically connected to the shunting end V1, a control end of the shunting module 20 is connected to a first voltage signal V2, when the light emitting device 10 displays low luminance, and when the driving transistor M1 generates a driving current, the first voltage signal V2 controls the shunting module 20 to generate a leakage current, and a part of the driving current generated by the driving transistor M1 is shunted to the shunting end V1. That is, the controllable shunting module 20 of the first voltage signal V2 generates the leakage current, so that when the light emitting element 10 displays low luminance, the current value of the driving current generated by the driving transistor M1 is effectively increased, and at this time, when the driving transistor M1 is influenced by the external environment and the characteristics are changed, the current value change degree of the driving current is reduced, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the driving current, so that the luminance change value of the light emitting element 10 is reduced, and the display effect is improved. Illustratively, when the light emitting device 10 displays low luminance, the current value of the current flowing through the light emitting device 10 is I2, and the current value of the current leakage generated by the shunting module 20 is I1, so that the driving transistor M1 generates the driving current value of I3, where I3 is equal to I2 plus I1.

Specifically, when the light emitting device 10 displays high luminance, the current value of the driving current generated by the driving transistor M1 is large, and the leakage current generated by the shunting module 20 has a small influence on the current value of the driving current generated by the driving transistor M1, so that the shunting module 20 can be controlled to generate the leakage current during the operation of the light emitting device 10 (when low luminance and high luminance are displayed). Therefore, the signal of the control end of the shunt module 20 does not need to be adjusted during the operation of the light-emitting element 10, and the circuit has high feasibility of implementation.
With continued reference to fig. 1 and 6, in some alternative embodiments, the leakage current generated by the shunting module 20 is adjusted by adjusting the voltage value of the first voltage signal V2.
Specifically, since the first voltage signal V2 controls the shunting module 20 to generate the leakage current, and the current value of the driving current generated by the driving transistor M1 is adjusted through the leakage current generated by the shunting module 20, the first voltage signal V2 can be adjusted according to the required magnitude of the leakage current before the light emitting element 10 works, so that the signal of the control terminal of the shunting module 20 does not need to be adjusted in the working process of the light emitting element 10, and the circuit has high implementability.

Specifically, since it is not necessary to adjust the signal of the control terminal of the shunting module 20 in the working process of the light emitting element 10, and the first voltage signal V2 is a fixed voltage signal, the control terminal of the shunting module 20 in each pixel circuit 100 in the display device can be electrically connected to the first voltage signal line S1, and the first voltage signal V2 is transmitted to the control terminal of the shunting module 20 in each pixel circuit 100 in the display device through the first voltage signal line S1 at the same time, and it is not necessary to provide a control signal to the control terminal of the shunting module 20 in each pixel circuit 100 in a targeted manner according to the working state of each pixel circuit 100 in the display device, the driving method is simple, the circuit has high implementability, and it is beneficial to reduce the circuit wiring difficulty.
