  • Patent number: 10937370
    Abstract: Data driving circuits, display panels and display devices are discussed. In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, when the display device is driven in a low-speed drive mode, by periodically resetting a voltage of an anode electrode of a light-emitting element EL in a holding interval, it is possible to enable a waveform of luminescence representing in the holding interval to be identical or similar to a waveform of luminescence representing in the refresh interval and it is therefore possible to prevent flickers from occurring. In addition, one or more reset voltages can be independently set according to driving conditions in the low-speed drive mode, and one or more changed reset voltages can be supplied according to the driving conditions. Therefore, it is possible to further overcome a flicker phenomenon by supplying an optimal reset voltage in various driving conditions in the low-speed drive mode.
