    Abstract: A pixel structure, a display panel, a display and a driving method thereof are disclosed. The pixel structure comprises an organic light emitting diode, a driving transistor, a storage capacitance, and a switch transistor. A first terminal of the driving transistor receives an image retention cancellation signal. The image retention cancellation signal changes to a second level from a first level before the driving transistor drives the organic light emitting diode so that the driving transistor is operated in a forward curve. A second terminal of the driving transistor is coupled to the light emitting diode. One terminal of the storage capacitance receives a common voltage, and the other terminal of the storage capacitance is coupled to a control terminal of the driving transistor. The switch transistor is controlled by a scan signal to output a data signal to the control terminal of the driving transistor.

  • Patent number: 7893904
    Abstract: In a displaying method for use in an image display, an original gray scale is divided into a higher gray scale and a lower gray scale. Further, the color subpixels are divided into two groups corresponding to the higher and lower gray scales, respectively. The gray scale to be expressed by each subpixel is calibrated by weighing the original higher or lower gray scale for the pixel and the adjacent pixels and summing up the results. The color shift problem due to different visual angles can therefore be solved.
