Abstract
A display panel includes light-emitting elements and pixel circuits. The pixel circuit includes a comparator and a first transistor. The first transistor and the light-emitting element are electrically connected in series between a first power supply terminal and a second power supply terminal. An output terminal of the comparator is coupled to a control terminal of the first transistor. The comparator includes a first input terminal receiving a data signal, and a second input terminal receiving a step signal. The comparator is configured to compare a voltage of the data signal with a voltage of the step signal, and supply a comparison result to the control terminal of the first transistor. An operation cycle of the pixel circuit includes a light-emitting phase in which the step signal includes plateau signals and ramp signals, plateau signals are constant-voltage signals, and voltages of ramp signals progressively change over time.
