  • Patent number: 7230596
    Abstract: An active organic electroluminescence display panel module comprising a substrate, a plurality of organic light-emitting devices, a light-emitting device driving unit and a temperature sensor unit are provided. The light-emitting device driving unit is electrically connected to the organic light-emitting devices for driving them. The temperature sensor unit is disposed on the substrate for sensing the temperature of the active organic electroluminescence display panel. The temperature sensor unit is also electrically connected to the light-emitting device driving unit for providing a signal to the light-emitting device driving unit in response to the sensed temperature. Accordingly, the light-emitting device driving unit can adjust the driving voltage of the organic light-emitting devices in the active organic electroluminescence display panel to reduce overall power consumption and provide an accurate grayscale to improve the quality of displayed images.
