  • Patent number: 8842059
    Abstract: A display system including at least one pixel is disclosed. The pixel includes a switching unit and a controlling unit. The switching unit controls a level of a first node. The controlling unit controls a level of a second node. During a first period, the level of the first node equals to a first reference level and the level of the second node equals to a second reference level. During a second period, the level of the first node equals to a third reference level and the voltage difference between the first and the second nodes equals to a threshold voltage of a driving unit. During a third period, the level of the first node equals to a data signal. During a fourth period, the driving unit lights a luminescence unit according to the voltage difference between the first and the second nodes.
