  • Publication number: 20160321988
    Abstract: A pixel driving circuit includes a signal loading component, a storage capacitor, a compensation component, a mirror component, and a drive transistor. In a data transmission stage, the signal loading component transmits a received image data signal to the gate of a drive transistor, which is stored in a storage capacitor; and in a threshold voltage compensation stage, the compensation component connects the gate of the drive transistor to the source of the drive transistor so as to generate a drive signal dependent upon the threshold voltage of the drive transistor from the signal stored in the storage capacitor and to drive an organic light emitting diode to emit light, thus eliminating an influence of the threshold voltage of the drive transistor on the current through the organic light emitting diode and preventing the brightness of the organic light emitting diode from varying over its operating period of time.
