  • Patent number: 11367393
    Abstract: Provided are a display panel, a driving method thereof and a display device. The display panel includes a substrate, multiple sub-pixels located on one side of the substrate, and at least one signal conversion circuit. Each sub-pixel includes a pixel driving circuit and a light-emitting element. The pixel driving circuit includes an initialization transistor and a driving transistor. A first electrode of the initialization transistor is electrically connected to a gate of the driving transistor. The signal conversion circuit may convert a received initialization signal to a first initialization signal or convert the initialization signal to a second initialization signal according to a received data control signal, and generate an output of the conversion to the second electrode of the initialization transistor. This can avoid an unstable gate voltage of the driving transistor caused by a leakage current, further improve the display effect.

  • Patent number: 10088724
    Abstract: Display panel and displaying device are provided. Except for a first data line electrode layer on a first substrate, a display panel further includes a first insulating layer on the first data line electrode layer and a second data line electrode layer on the first insulating layer. The first data line electrode layer includes a plurality of first data lines, and the second data line electrode layer includes a plurality of second data lines respectively corresponding to the first data lines. A plurality of vias are disposed in the first insulating layer and expose a portion of the first data lines. The second data lines are electrically connected with the first data lines through the vias, which may decrease resistance of each data line, reduce the attenuation of a driving signal transmitted in the data lines far away from a driving circuit, and improve displaying effect of the display panel.
