  • Patent number: 11363229
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes: a substrate, a plurality of pixels, a plurality of data lines, an amplifier and a current source. The pixels and data lines are disposed on the substrate. The amplifier and the current source are coupled to one of the data lines, wherein at least a portion of the one of data lines forms a conduction path. One of the pixels is coupled to the one of the data lines at a first node, and the first node is on the first conduction path. A first current that flows from the first node to the first source terminal is different from a second current that flows from the first node to the first output terminal.

  • Patent number: 9830879
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a multiplexer circuit, a driving unit, a first control line and a second control line. The multiplexer circuit includes a plurality of switch units. The first control line is electrically connected with the switch units and the driving unit. The second control line is electrically connected with the switch units and the driving unit. A maximum time constant from the driving unit to the switch units is less than R*C/4, wherein R represents the equivalent resistance of the portion of the first control line between the two switch units which are the farthest from each other, and C represents the equivalent capacitance of the portion of the first control line between the two switch units which are the farthest from each other.
