  • Patent number: 7245278
    Abstract: A display pixel circuit having a data line loading circuit with a first capacitor, a first reset circuit coupled with the data line loading circuit, and a diode coupled to the data line loading circuit. The display pixel circuit also includes a second capacitor associated with the diode, and a second reset circuit coupled with the second capacitor. The first reset circuit is configured to reset the first capacitor. The second reset circuit is configured to reset the second capacitor, and the diode is driven by a constant current after resetting the first capacitor and the second capacitor.

  • Patent number: 7233325
    Abstract: A structure and a method for reducing source line resistance of a light emitting diode. A light emitting diode display has at least a light emitting diode, a power source and a power source line structure for guiding the power source to provide the required power for driving the light emitting diode. The structure for reducing the source line resistance has an insulation layer formed on at least a part of the source line structure. The insulation layer has at least two openings exposing the source line structure. A conductive layer is formed to cover the insulation layer and is in electrical contact with the source line structure through the openings. Thereby, the conductive layer and the source line are connected in parallel, and the resistance of the source line is thus reduced.
