Abstract

A pixel driving circuit includes a first switch, a capacitor, a second switch and at least one organic light emitting diode. The first switch includes a first end for receiving data voltage, a control end for receiving a first scan signal, and a second end for outputting the data voltage. The capacitor includes a first end coupled to the second end of the first switch, and a second end. The second switch includes a first end coupled to the second end of the first switch, a control end for receiving a second scan signal, and a second end. The at least one organic light emitting diode includes a first end coupled to the second end of the second switch, and a second end coupled to the second end of the capacitor.
