AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing pixel architectures based on oxide processes, multiple reset periods result in a wider invalid level period for light emission control, leading to a longer black bar width in the PWM, which affects visual experience and eye protection.

Method used

A second light-emitting control sub-circuit is introduced into the pixel circuit to provide a drive current flow path independent of the drive sub-circuit. It uses the first power signal to emit light during the period when the drive current is not provided, thereby reducing the black bar time.

Benefits of technology

By reducing the duration of black bars, flickering is reduced, eye protection is improved, and the user experience of display products is enhanced.
