本發明是有關於一種顯示裝置,且特別是有關於一種能夠使電路中的發光元件操作於最佳效率點,並且能夠有效地提升佈局空間的顯示面板。 The present invention relates to a display device, and more particularly to a display panel that can make the light-emitting elements in the circuit operate at the best efficiency point and can effectively increase the layout space.
在習知技術中,顯示面板中的各個子畫素(sub-pixel)或發光元件通常具有對應的驅動電路,使得每個驅動電路能夠驅動對應的子畫素或發光元件。並且,習知的顯示面板亦會透過切換多個多工器,以將對應的資料電壓寫入至所選擇的子畫素或發光元件中。 In the prior art, each sub-pixel or light-emitting element in the display panel usually has a corresponding driving circuit, so that each driving circuit can drive the corresponding sub-pixel or light-emitting element. In addition, the conventional display panel will also switch multiple multiplexers to write the corresponding data voltages into the selected sub-pixels or light-emitting elements.
然而,當顯示面板需要較高的像素密度(Pixels Per Inch,PPI)的需求時,過多的驅動電晶體以及激光控制線將會限制顯示面板的佈局空間。此外,受限於佈局空間的情況下,驅動電路中的驅動電晶體的尺寸與所產生的驅動電流的大小亦會受到限制,進而影響了流經各個子畫素或發光元件的電流大小,使得這些發光元件無法操作於最佳效率點。另外,在窄邊框的設計需求下,過多的多工器亦會影響顯示面板的佈局面積。 However, when the display panel requires higher pixel density (Pixels Per Inch, PPI), too many driving transistors and laser control lines will limit the layout space of the display panel. In addition, when the layout space is limited, the size of the drive transistor in the drive circuit and the size of the drive current generated will also be limited, which in turn affects the size of the current flowing through each sub-pixel or light-emitting element, so that These light-emitting elements cannot operate at the best efficiency point. In addition, under the design requirements of narrow bezels, too many multiplexers will also affect the layout area of the display panel.
有鑑於此,如何有效地提升顯示面板的佈局空間,並使各個子畫素或發光元件能夠操作於最佳效率點,以改善顯示品質,將是本領域相關技術人員的課題。 In view of this, how to effectively increase the layout space of the display panel and enable each sub-pixel or light-emitting element to operate at the best efficiency point to improve the display quality will be the subject of those skilled in the art.

Pixels or light-emitting elements. Moreover, the sub-pixel groups of the present invention can share the same driving circuit to increase the layout space of the display panel. As a result, when the layout space of the display panel is increased, the size of the driving transistor can be relatively large, thereby increasing the driving current flowing through the lit sub-pixel or light-emitting element, so that the sub-pixel or light-emitting element Able to operate at the best efficiency point.

依據上述圖1至圖8的4個實施例的說明可以得知,顯示面板可以依據激光控制信號的時序狀態來選擇所需發光的子畫素或發光元件,以使驅動電路可以逐一依序點亮子畫素群組中的子畫素或發光元件,使彼此相鄰的子畫素的發光時間可以不完全重疊。並且,由於顯示面板無需透過額外的多工器或過多的激光控制線來進行電路的切換動作,且子畫素群組可以共用同一個驅動電路,因此,圖1至圖8的4個實施例可以有效地提升顯示面板的佈局空間。 According to the description of the four embodiments in FIGS. 1 to 8 above, it can be known that the display panel can select the sub-pixels or light-emitting elements that need to be emitted according to the timing state of the laser control signal, so that the driving circuit can sequentially point one by one. The sub-pixels or light-emitting elements in the bright sub-pixel group make the light-emitting time of the adjacent sub-pixels not completely overlap. Moreover, since the display panel does not need to perform circuit switching actions through additional multiplexers or excessive laser control lines, and the sub-pixel groups can share the same driving circuit, the four embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 8 Can effectively improve the layout space of the display panel.
除此之外,在增加了顯示面板的佈局空間下,圖1至圖8的4個實施例亦可相對地增加驅動電晶體的尺寸,進而使驅動電晶體能夠產生較大的驅動電流至經點亮的子畫素或發光元件。如此一來,圖1至圖8的4個實施例的子畫素或發光元件能夠操作於最佳效率點,藉以提升顯示品質。 In addition, with the increase in the layout space of the display panel, the four embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 8 can also relatively increase the size of the driving transistor, so that the driving transistor can generate a larger driving current to the Illuminated sub-pixels or light-emitting elements. In this way, the sub-pixels or light-emitting elements of the four embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 8 can be operated at the best efficiency point, thereby improving the display quality.
綜上所述,本發明諸實施例所述顯示面板可以依據激光控制信號的時序狀態來選擇所需發光的子畫素或發光元件,以使驅動電路逐一依序點亮子畫素群組中的子畫素或發光元件。並且,本發明的子畫素群組可以共用同一個驅動電路,以提升顯示面板 的佈局空間。如此一來,在增加了顯示面板的佈局空間下,驅動電晶體的尺寸可以相對較大,進而提升流經被點亮的子畫素或發光元件的驅動電流,以使子畫素或發光元件能夠操作於最佳效率點。 In summary, the display panels of the embodiments of the present invention can select the sub-pixels or light-emitting elements to emit light according to the timing state of the laser control signal, so that the driving circuit sequentially lights up the sub-pixel groups one by one. Sub-pixels or light-emitting elements. Moreover, the sub-pixel groups of the present invention can share the same driving circuit to enhance the display panel Layout space. As a result, when the layout space of the display panel is increased, the size of the driving transistor can be relatively large, thereby increasing the driving current flowing through the lit sub-pixel or light-emitting element, so that the sub-pixel or light-emitting element Able to operate at the best efficiency point.
