  • Patent number: 12254824
    Abstract: A pixel circuit includes a driving transistor, a storage capacitor, a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor and a fourth transistor. A first end of the driving transistor is electrically coupled to a system high voltage terminal. The driving transistor is configured to control a driving current supplied to a light emitting element. A first end of the storage capacitor is electrically coupled to a control end of the driving transistor. A first end of the first transistor is electrically coupled to a second end of the storage capacitor, and a second end of the first transistor is configured to receive a data signal. When the first transistor is turned on according to the first control signal, the storage capacitor resets a voltage at the control end of the driving transistor, by a capacitive coupling effect, according to a change in voltage of the data signal.
