Abstract

A device and method for applying a data voltage signal, a display panel, and a display device. The device for applying the data voltage signal includes: a voltage signal detection module configured to detect an image signal inputted to a display assembly; and a threshold compensation signal outputting module configured to process the inputted image signal and apply the processed image signal to a gate electrode of a driving transistor so that the driving transistor is turned on before a threshold compensation for the driving transistor is conducted; where, the processed image signal is obtained by subtracting a preset voltage signal from the inputted image signal.
