Abstract
A pixel circuit and a display panel. The pixel circuit includes a driving transistor, a write-in transistor, a first light emission control transistor, a second light emission control transistor, and a first initialization transistor. By initializing a potential of a source or a drain of the driving transistor at least once before and after a charging phase of a frame, the potential of the source or the drain of the driving transistor may be stabilized.
