進一步來說,以綠色畫素PXG(n)為例,第一電晶體T1的第一端接收綠色資料信號GDX(n),第一電晶體T1的控制端接收掃描信號SN(n)。並且,第三電晶體T3的控制端接收發光信號EM(n)。Further, taking the green pixel PXG(n) as an example, the first terminal of the first transistor T1 receives the green data signal GDX(n), and the control terminal of the first transistor T1 receives the scan signal SN(n). Moreover, the control terminal of the third transistor T3 receives the light emitting signal EM(n).
圖2為依據本發明第一實施例的畫素陣列的驅動波形示意圖。請參照圖1及圖2,如圖2所示,掃描信號SN(n-1)~SN(n+1)為按時間而依序致能,亦即掃描信號SN(n-1)~SN(n+1)的致能準位期間為按時間而依序形成。並且,發光信號EM(n-1)~EM(n+1)同樣為按時間而依序致能,亦即發光信號EM(n-1)~EM(n+1)同樣為按時間而依序形成。對綠色畫素PXG(n)而言,發光信號EM(n)的致能準位期間晚於掃描信號SN(n)的致能準位期間。FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of driving waveforms of the pixel array according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, as shown in Figure 2, the scan signals SN(n-1)~SN(n+1) are enabled sequentially according to time, that is, the scan signals SN(n-1)~SN The enable level periods of (n+1) are sequentially formed in time. In addition, the light emitting signals EM(n-1)~EM(n+1) are also enabled sequentially according to time, that is, the light emitting signals EM(n-1)~EM(n+1) are also time dependent. order formation. For the green pixel PXG(n), the enable period of the light emission signal EM(n) is later than the enable period of the scan signal SN(n).
以綠色畫素PXG(n)的驅動為例,在掃描信號SN(n)致能時,綠色資料信號GDX(n)會進行寫入。接著,在發光信號EM(n)致能時,綠色畫素PXG(n)的第三電晶體T3、第四電晶體T4會導通,並且綠色畫素PXG(n)的第二電晶體T2的導通程度是反應綠色資料信號GDX(n)的電壓準位。此時,電流會自系統高電壓VDD開始,經由綠色畫素PXG(n)的第二電晶體T2、第三電晶體T3、發光二極體LED1,而流至系統低電壓VSS,並且也經由綠色畫素PXG(n)的第二電晶體T2、第三電晶體T3及第四電晶體T4、以及畫素PXG(n-1)的發光二極體LED1,而流至系統低電壓VSS。Taking the driving of the green pixel PXG(n) as an example, when the scan signal SN(n) is enabled, the green data signal GDX(n) will be written. Then, when the light emitting signal EM(n) is enabled, the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 of the green pixel PXG(n) will be turned on, and the second transistor T2 of the green pixel PXG(n) will The conduction degree reflects the voltage level of the green data signal GDX(n). At this time, the current will start from the system high voltage VDD, flow to the system low voltage VSS through the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, and the light-emitting diode LED1 of the green pixel PXG(n), and also pass through The second transistor T2 , the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 of the green pixel PXG(n), and the light-emitting diode LED1 of the pixel PXG(n−1) flow to the system low voltage VSS.
換言之,導通的第二電晶體T2、第三電晶體T3及第四電晶體T4並聯兩個綠色畫素PXG(n)及PXG(n-1)的發光二極體LED1。在本發明的實施例中,而紅色發光二極體及藍色發光二極體在所通過的電流愈大時。然而,綠發光二極體則不然,僅在特定電流時有最大發光效率,並且隨電流不斷增加,則發光效率愈低。因此,透過並聯兩個綠色畫素(如PXG(n-1)~PXG(n+1))的發光二極體LED1,可降低通過各個綠發光二極體的電流,以使綠色發光二極體的發光效率向最大發光效率靠攏。In other words, the turned-on second transistor T2 , third transistor T3 and fourth transistor T4 are connected in parallel to the light-emitting diodes LED1 of the two green pixels PXG(n) and PXG(n−1). In the embodiment of the present invention, when the current passing through the red light-emitting diode and the blue light-emitting diode is larger. However, green light-emitting diodes are not the case. They only have a maximum luminous efficiency at a specific current, and as the current increases, the luminous efficiency becomes lower. Therefore, by connecting the light-emitting diode LED1 of two green pixels (such as PXG(n-1)~PXG(n+1)) in parallel, the current passing through each green light-emitting diode can be reduced, so that the green light-emitting diode The luminous efficiency of the body moves closer to the maximum luminous efficiency.

The cathode of the light-emitting diode LED2 receives the system low voltage VSS.

Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3, in this embodiment, red pixels (such as PXR(n)~PXR(n+1)) and blue pixels (such as PXG(n)~PXG(n+1)) It is lit one by one (R and B as shown by the slash), but the green pixels (such as (such as PXG(n-1)~PXG(n+1)) are lit two at a time (G as shown by the slash), In order to make the bright spots uniform, each green pixel (such as PXG(n-1)~PXG(n+1)) can communicate with adjacent red pixels (such as PXR(n)~PXR(n+1) along the second direction D2 1)) and adjacent blue pixels (such as PXG(n)~PXG(n+1)) are not aligned. In other words, along the second direction D2, each green pixel (such as PXG(n-1)~ PXG(n+1)) can be compared with two red pixels (such as PXR(n)~PXR(n+1)) and two blue pixels (such as PXG(n)~PXG(n+1)) correspond.
圖4為依據本發明第二實施例的畫素陣列的電路示意圖。請參照圖1及圖3,畫素陣列PAX2大致相同於畫素陣列PAX1,其不同之處畫素陣列PAX2的綠色畫素(如(如PXGa(n-1)~PXGa(n+1))更包括第五電晶體T5,其中相同或相似元件使用相同或相似標號。第五電晶體T5具有耦接垂直相鄰的綠色畫素(如PXG(n-1)~PXG(n+1))的發光二極體LED1的陽極的第一端、接收第二控制信號(例如發光信號EM(n-2)~EM(n))的控制端及耦接發光二極體LED1的陽極的第二端。FIG. 4 is a schematic circuit diagram of a pixel array according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3, the pixel array PAX2 is roughly the same as the pixel array PAX1, the difference is that the green pixels of the pixel array PAX2 (such as (such as PXGa(n-1)~PXGa(n+1)) It further includes a fifth transistor T5, wherein the same or similar components use the same or similar labels. The fifth transistor T5 has a green pixel coupled to vertically adjacent (such as PXG(n-1)~PXG(n+1)) The first terminal of the anode of the light-emitting diode LED1, the control terminal receiving the second control signal (such as the light-emitting signal EM(n-2)~EM(n)), and the second terminal coupled to the anode of the light-emitting diode LED1 end.

The control terminal of the third transistor T3 receives the light emitting signal EM(n), and the control terminal of the fifth transistor T5 receives the light emitting signal EM(n−1). Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. As shown in FIG. 2, for the green pixel PXGa(n), the enable level period of the light emission signal EM(n) is later than the enable level period of the scan signal SN(n) period and the enable level period of the light emitting signal EM(n−1).
請參照圖2及圖4,以綠色畫素PXGa(n)的驅動為例,在掃描信號SN(n)致能時,綠色資料信號GDX(n)會進行寫入。接著,在發光信號EM(n)致能時,綠色畫素PXGa(n)的第三電晶體T3、第四電晶體T4會導通,綠色畫素PXGa(n+1)的第五電晶體T5會導通,並且綠色畫素PXGa(n)的第二電晶體T2的導通程度是反應綠色資料信號GDX(n)的電壓準位。此時,電流會自系統高電壓VDD開始,經由綠色畫素PXGa(n)的第二電晶體T2、第三電晶體T3、發光二極體LED1,而流至系統低電壓VSS;也經由綠色畫素PXGa(n)的第二電晶體T2、第三電晶體T3及第四電晶體T4、以及畫素PXGa(n-1)的發光二極體LED1,而流至系統低電壓VSS;以及,更經由綠色畫素PXGa(n)的第二電晶體T2及第三電晶體T3、以及畫素PXGa(n+1)的第五電晶體T5及發光二極體LED1,而流至系統低電壓VSS。Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , taking the driving of the green pixel PXGa(n) as an example, when the scan signal SN(n) is enabled, the green data signal GDX(n) will be written. Next, when the light-emitting signal EM(n) is enabled, the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 of the green pixel PXGa(n) are turned on, and the fifth transistor T5 of the green pixel PXGa(n+1) is turned on, and the turn-on degree of the second transistor T2 of the green pixel PXGa(n) reflects the voltage level of the green data signal GDX(n).
