Abstract

The present disclosure provides a pixel driving circuit and a pixel driving method. The pixel driving circuit includes a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor, a fourth transistor, and an organic light-emitting diode. When a first scan signal is at a high voltage potential, the second transistor transmits a data signal voltage to a gate of the first transistor. A driving current flows through the organic light-emitting diode to emit light.
