  • Patent number: 8040304
    Abstract: An AMOLED panel includes an AMOLED pixel unit, a scan driving unit and a data driving unit. The scan driving unit is coupled to the AMOLED pixel unit. The data driving unit is coupled to the AMOLED pixel unit and a voltage source. The data driving unit comprises a reference current source circuit, (N+1) mirror output circuits and (N+1) switch elements. The reference current source circuit is for providing a reference current. (N+1) mirror output circuits are coupled to the reference current source circuits for outputting (N+1) corresponding data currents to the AMOLED pixel unit, wherein N is a positive integer. The m-th data current of the (N+1) data currents is 2m times of the reference current, and m is an integer 0˜N. The switch elements are disposed in correspondence with the mirror output circuits for controlling the data currents to be outputted to the AMOLED pixel unit.

  • Patent number: 8022924
    Abstract: A field sequential driving method includes the following steps. First, a liquid crystal display (LCD) including a display unit and a backlight unit is provided. The display unit includes several pixel units. Next, a white light source of the backlight unit is enabled during a first sub-frame period of a frame period of the LCD. Then, red and blue sub-pixel data are provided to drive a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel in the pixel unit during the first sub-frame period. Next, a green light source of the backlight unit is enabled during a second sub-frame period of the frame period. Thereafter, green sub-pixel data is provided to drive a third sub-pixel of the pixel unit during the second sub-frame period.

  • Patent number: 7315292
    Abstract: In a pixel circuit composing a digital-driven organic EL display device, an organic light emitting element which emits light by the supply of electric current, and two driving transistors for controlling the supply of electric current to the organic light emitting element are connected in series. The driving transistor functions as an electric current adjustment element which adjusts an electric current flowing through the organic light emitting element. When the electric current flowing through the organic light emitting element decreases by the degradation of the organic light emitting element, decrease in temperature and the like, the driving transistor acts for increasing the electric current.
