Optionally, the types of the first switching transistor 101, the first driving transistor 102, the second switching transistor 111, and the second driving transistor 112 may be P-type thin film transistors. In this case, the control terminal is a gate of the transistor, the first terminal is a source of the transistor, and the second terminal is a drain of the transistor. Then, referring to fig. 2, the connection relationship between the above devices is: a source of the first switching transistor 101 is connected to the first Data signal Data1, a gate of the first switching transistor 101 is connected to the Scan signal Scan, a drain of the first switching transistor 101 is connected to a gate of the first driving transistor 102, a source of the first driving transistor 102 is connected to the positive power supply voltage VDD, a drain of the first driving transistor 102 is connected to an anode of the first light emitting element 103, and a cathode of the first light emitting element 103 is connected to the negative power supply voltage VSS; the source of the second switching transistor 111 is connected to the second Data signal Data2, the gate of the second switching transistor 111 is connected to the Scan signal Scan, the drain of the second switching transistor 111 is connected to the gate of the second driving transistor 112, the source of the second driving transistor 112 is connected to the positive power supply voltage VDD, the drain of the second driving transistor 112 is connected to the anode of the second light emitting element 113, and the cathode of the second light emitting element 113 is connected to the negative power supply voltage VSS.

Similarly, for the second driving unit 11, taking subfield 1 of the second control signal shown in fig. 4 as an example, if the current gray scale requires that the second light emitting element 113 is in a "bright" state in the subfield 1, the writing voltage of the first Data signal Data2 in the subfield 1 is set to be a low voltage, so as to turn on the second driving transistor 112, and further, the second light emitting element 113 is driven by the positive power supply voltage VDD and the negative power supply voltage VSS to be lighted; if the current gray scale display requires the second light emitting element 113 to be in the "dark" state in the subfield 1, the writing voltage of the second Data signal Data2 in the subfield 1 can be set to be a high voltage, and the second driving transistor 112 is turned off at this time, so that the second light emitting element 113 cannot emit light. Thereby, the light and dark control of the second light emitting element 113 in the subfield 1 can be realized. The principle of controlling the brightness of the second light emitting element 113 in the other sub-fields is similar, and the present invention is not described herein again.

G254：(LED1)t1+t2+t4+t8+t16+t32+t64+(LED2)t1+t2+t4+t8+t16+t32+t64。
taking the example of G129, when the gray scale level is G129, the LED1 can be controlled to be "bright" only in subfield 7 (corresponding to a time period of t64) and "dark" in all of subfields 1 to 6, while the LED2 is controlled to be "bright" in both subfields 1 and 7 and "dark" in all of subfields 2 to 6. Taking G254 as an example, when the gray scale level is G254, LED1 can be controlled to be in a "bright" state for all subfields, while LED2 can be controlled to be in a "bright" state for all subfields. It can be seen that, on the basis of designing two light emitting elements in a pixel driving circuit and dividing a display period of one frame image into seven subfields, gray scale display of different levels at 8 bits can be realized by controlling the light and dark states of the respective light emitting elements in the respective subfields.
The pixel driving circuit provided by this embodiment provides an achievable design structure of the first driving unit and the second driving unit, the first driving unit is designed with the first light emitting element, the second driving unit is designed with the second light emitting element, the display period of one frame of image is divided into seven subfields, and gray scale display of different levels under 8 bits can be realized by controlling the light and dark states of each light emitting element in each subfield. The problem that 8-bit gray scale display is difficult to realize due to the limited reading speed of the IC in the prior art is solved.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and not to limit the same; while the invention has been described in detail and with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some or all of the technical features may be equivalently replaced; and the modifications or the substitutions do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions depart from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
