[0041] Certain words are used in the specification and claims to refer to specific components. Those with ordinary knowledge in the field should understand that manufacturers may use different terms to refer to the same component. This specification and claims do not use differences in names as a way to distinguish components, but use differences in the functions of the components as the criteria for distinction. The position descriptions such as up, down, top, and bottom mentioned in the specification are based on the directions marked in the drawings and the definition methods that people are accustomed to, to explain the positional relationship between the components, and do not limit the actual placement or use direction of the product. The "including" mentioned throughout the specification and claims is an open-ended term, so it should be interpreted as "including but not limited to".
[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. The pixel circuit 100 includes a first light sensor 110, a variable resistor 120, and a light emitting element LD1. The first light sensor 110 receives a first operating voltage VDD and is coupled to the variable resistor 120. The variable resistor 120 and the light emitting element LD1 are coupled in series between a second operating voltage VCC and a reference voltage VSS. The first light sensor 110 generates a first control voltage Vctrl1 according to the intensity of the light to be sensed, and provides the first control voltage Vctrl1 to the variable resistor 120. The variable resistor 120 can adjust the resistance value provided according to the first control voltage Vctrl1. By adjusting the resistance value provided by the variable resistor 120, the current value of the driving current Idrv flowing through the light emitting element LD1 can be adjusted accordingly. In this way, the light emitting brightness of the light emitting element LD1 can also be adjusted accordingly.
[0043] In detail, when the intensity of the light to be sensed is greater than the preset first threshold value, the first light sensor 110 can adjust the voltage value of the first control voltage Vctrl1 according to the first operating voltage VDD, for example, so that the voltage value of the first control voltage Vctrl1 is increased to the first voltage value. Correspondingly, the variable resistor 120 can reduce the resistance value provided by the variable resistor 120 according to the increased first control voltage Vctrl1. In this way, the current value of the driving current Idrv flowing through the light-emitting element LD1 can be increased, and the light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting element LD1 is correspondingly increased. Conversely, when the intensity of the light to be sensed is less than the preset second threshold value, the first light sensor 110 can adjust the voltage value of the first control voltage Vctrl1 according to the first operating voltage VDD, for example, so that the voltage value of the first control voltage Vctrl1 is reduced to the second voltage value. Correspondingly, the variable resistor 120 can increase the provided resistance value corresponding to the reduced first control voltage Vctrl1. In this way, the current value of the driving current Idrv flowing through the light emitting element LD1 can be lowered, and the light emitting brightness of the light emitting element LD1 can be correspondingly reduced. The first threshold value can be greater than or equal to the second threshold value.
[0044] Incidentally, in this embodiment, the first operating voltage VDD received by the first light sensor 110 and the second operating voltage VCC received by the light emitting element LD1 may be equal or unequal, without any specific limitation. The reference voltage VSS in this embodiment may be a ground voltage. Figure 1 The coupling sequence between the light emitting element LD1 and the variable resistor 120 can also be interchanged. Figure 1 It is only an illustrative example and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention.
[0045] The light emitting element LD1 in this embodiment can be any form of light emitting diode, such as a direct-view light emitting diode (dvLED), a micro light emitting diode (Micro LED) or an organic light emitting diode (Organic LED, OLED), etc., without any specific limitation.
[0046] Incidentally, the first light sensor 110 may be used to sense the brightness of the light to be sensed which is white light, or may also be used to sense the brightness of the light to be sensed which has a specific wavelength, such as red light, blue light or green light.
[0047] Please refer to the following Figure 2 , Figure 2Schematic diagram of a pixel circuit of another embodiment of the present invention. The pixel circuit 200 includes a first light sensor 210, a variable resistor 220, and a light emitting element LD1. In this embodiment, the first light sensor 210 may be a photodiode PD1. The anode of the photodiode PD1 may be coupled to the variable resistor 220 and used to provide a first control voltage Vctrl1, and the cathode of the photodiode PD1 may receive a second operating voltage VCC. In addition, the light emitting element LD1 may be a light emitting diode. The anode of the light emitting element LD1 may receive a second operating voltage VCC, and the cathode of the light emitting element LD1 may be coupled to the variable resistor 220.
[0048] On the other hand, the variable resistor 220 includes a transistor T1, a first resistor R1, and a second resistor R2. The second resistor R2 is connected in series between the cathode of the light emitting element LD1 and the reference voltage VSS. The transistor T1 and the first resistor R1 are connected in series between the cathode of the light emitting element LD1 and the reference voltage VSS, and are coupled in parallel with the second resistor R2. The control end of the transistor T1 is coupled to the cathode of the photodiode PD1 to receive the first control voltage Vctrl1.
[0049] In terms of action details, the photodiode PD1 can adjust the degree of conduction according to the intensity of the light to be sensed received. When the intensity of the light to be sensed is less than the second threshold, the photodiode PD1 can be completely turned off. At this time, the first control voltage Vctrl1 cannot turn on the transistor T1, and can make the transistor T1 in a cut-off state. At the same time, the resistance value provided by the variable resistor 220 is equal to the resistance value of the second resistor R2, and the driving current Idrv flowing through the light emitting element LD1 can be equal to the second operating voltage VCC divided by the resistance value of the second resistor R2.
[0050] When the intensity of the light to be sensed is increased and is higher than the preset first threshold, the photodiode PD1 can be fully turned on and the first control voltage Vctrl1 is substantially equal to the second operating voltage VCC (the photodiode PD1 still has a small on-resistance). At the same time, the transistor T1 can be fully turned on according to the first control voltage Vctrl1. In this way, the variable resistor 220 can provide a resistance value R1 / / R2 of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 connected in parallel, wherein the resistance value R1 / / R2 is less than the resistance value of the second resistor R2. In this way, the driving current Idrv flowing through the light-emitting element LD1 can be increased to be equal to the second operating voltage VCC divided by the resistance value R1 / / R2, thereby increasing the light emitting brightness of the light-emitting element LD1.
[0051] From the above description, it can be known that the pixel circuit 200 of the embodiment of the present invention can dynamically adjust the light emitting brightness of the light emitting element LD1 according to the intensity of the light to be sensed, which can effectively reduce the interference of ambient light on the display brightness of the pixel circuit 200 and maintain the display quality.
[0052] In this embodiment, the light emitting element LD1 and the photodiode PD1 receive the same second operating voltage VCC. In other embodiments of the present invention, the light emitting element LD1 and the photodiode PD1 may also receive different operating voltages. In the variable resistor 220, the transistor T1 may be a bipolar transistor or any other type of transistor without fixed restrictions. Figure 2 The positions of the transistor T1 and the first resistor R1 in the embodiment may also be interchanged without any specific limitation.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 Schematic diagram of a pixel circuit of another embodiment of the present invention. The pixel circuit 300 includes a first light sensor 310, a second light sensor 330, a variable resistor 320, and a light emitting element LD1. Different from the above-mentioned embodiment, in this embodiment, the pixel circuit 300 has a plurality of light sensors: a first light sensor 310 and a second light sensor 330. The first light sensor 310 and the second light sensor 330 respectively include a first photosensitive diode PD1 and a second photosensitive diode PD2, and receive a first operating voltage VDD. The light emitting element LD1 receives a second operating voltage VCC. In addition, the variable resistor 320 includes a second resistor R2, and includes a first transistor T1 corresponding to the first light sensor 310, a first resistor R1, and a second transistor T2 and a third resistor R3 corresponding to the second light sensor 330. Among them, the first transistor T1 and the first resistor R1 are coupled in series between the cathode of the light-emitting element LD1 and the reference voltage VSS; the second transistor T2 and the third resistor R3 are coupled in series between the cathode of the light-emitting element LD1 and the reference voltage VSS; and the second resistor R2 is also coupled between the cathode of the light-emitting element LD1 and the reference voltage VSS.
[0054] The first light sensor 310 and the second light sensor 330 provide a first control voltage Vctrl1 and a second control voltage Vctrl2 respectively according to the intensity of the light to be sensed. The first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on or off respectively according to the first control voltage Vctrl1 and the second control voltage Vctrl2. When the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are both turned off, the variable resistor 320 can provide the maximum resistance value (equal to the resistance value of the second resistor R2). When one of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 is turned off and the other is turned on, the variable resistor 320 can provide a secondary large resistance value (equal to the resistance value of the second resistor R2 in parallel with one of the first resistor R1 and the third resistor R3). When the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are both turned on, the variable resistor 320 can provide the minimum resistance value (equal to the resistance value of the second resistor R2, the first resistor R1, and the third resistor R3 in parallel).
[0055] Correspondingly, when the variable resistor 320 provides the maximum resistance value, the driving current Idrv passing through the light-emitting element LD1 has the lowest current value, and the light-emitting element LD1 emits the lowest brightness; when the variable resistor 320 provides a secondary large resistance value, the driving current Idrv passing through the light-emitting element LD1 has a secondary low current value, and the light-emitting element LD1 emits a secondary low brightness; when the variable resistor 320 provides the minimum resistance value, the driving current Idrv passing through the light-emitting element LD1 has the maximum current value, and the light-emitting element LD1 emits the highest brightness.
[0056] In the first implementation of the present embodiment, the first light sensor 310 and the second light sensor 330 can sense the same light to be sensed. The first light sensor 310 can be turned on when the intensity of the light to be sensed is greater than a preset first threshold, and the second light sensor 330 can be turned on only when the intensity of the light to be sensed is greater than a preset third threshold, wherein the third threshold is greater than the first threshold. That is, in the first implementation of the present embodiment, when the intensity of the light to be sensed is lower than the first threshold, the first light sensor 310 and the second light sensor 330 are not turned on, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned off, and the light emitting element LD1 provides the lowest brightness. When the intensity of the light to be sensed is higher than the first threshold but lower than the third threshold, the first light sensor 310 can be turned on, while the second light sensor 330 is not turned on, the first transistor T1 is turned on and the second transistor T2 is turned off, and the light emitting element LD1 provides a secondary low brightness. When the intensity of the light to be sensed is higher than the third threshold, the first light sensor 310 and the second light sensor 330 can be turned on, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 can be turned on, and the light emitting element LD1 provides the highest brightness.
[0057] From the above description, it can be known that the present embodiment improves the brightness level of the light to be sensed by setting the first light sensor 310 and the second light sensor 330. And through the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2 and the corresponding first resistor R1 and the third resistor R3, the brightness provided by the light emitting element LD1 can be adjusted in multiple stages according to the intensity of the light to be sensed, so as to improve the working efficiency of the pixel circuit 300.
[0058] On the other hand, in the second implementation of the present embodiment, the first light sensor 310 and the second light sensor 330 can sense different light to be sensed having different wavelengths. The first light sensor 310 can be used to sense the first light to be sensed having a first wavelength, and the second light sensor 330 can be used to sense the second light to be sensed having a second wavelength, wherein the first wavelength is different from the second wavelength.
[0059] In the second embodiment, the first light sensor 310 further includes a first color filter CF1, and the first color filter CF1 is disposed between the paths of the first photosensitive diode PD1 receiving the ambient light. The second light sensor 330 further includes a second color filter CF2, and the second color filter CF2 is disposed between the paths of the second photosensitive diode PD2 receiving the ambient light. The first color filter CF1 is used to generate the first light to be sensed by passing the first wavelength portion of the ambient light, and the first light sensor 310 can generate the first control voltage Vctrl1 according to the intensity of the first light to be sensed. The second color filter CF2 is used to generate the second light to be sensed by passing the second wavelength portion of the ambient light, and the second light sensor 330 can generate the second control voltage Vctrl2 according to the intensity of the second light to be sensed.
[0060] The configuration of the color filter and the corresponding light sensor will be described in detail in the following embodiments.
[0061] In the second embodiment, when the intensity of the first light to be sensed of the first wavelength is greater than the first threshold value, the first light sensor 310 can generate a first control voltage Vctrl1 substantially equal to the first operating voltage VDD, so that the first transistor T1 is turned on. By turning on the first transistor T1, the resistance value provided by the variable resistor 320 can be reduced, thereby increasing the brightness generated by the light-emitting element LD1. In addition, when the intensity of the second light to be sensed of the second wavelength is greater than the third threshold value, the second light sensor 320 can generate a second control voltage Vctrl2 substantially equal to the first operating voltage VDD, so that the second transistor T2 is turned on. By turning on the second transistor T2, the resistance value provided by the variable resistor 320 can also be reduced, thereby increasing the brightness generated by the light-emitting element LD1. It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the above-mentioned first threshold value can be greater than, equal to, or less than the third threshold value.
[0062] For example, the light to be sensed of the first wavelength may be blue light, the light to be sensed of the second wavelength may be green light, and the light emitting element LD1 may emit red light. When the intensity of at least one of the blue light and the green light is too strong, the pixel circuit 300 may increase the brightness of the light emitting element LD1 to achieve a color balance effect.
[0063] It is worth mentioning that in other embodiments of the present invention, a larger number of light sensors may be disposed in the pixel circuit to detect more segments of ambient light or to detect more light of different wavelengths to be sensed.

The pixel circuit 401 is similar to the pixel circuit 200, and the same parts can be referred to. Figure 2 The description of the embodiment is not repeated here. The difference is that the pixel circuit 401 further includes a fourth resistor RD1 coupled between the anode of the photodiode PD1 and the reference voltage VSS. The fourth resistor RD1 is used to adjust the resistance value. When the photodiode PD1 is turned off, the voltage on the control terminal of the transistor T1 is lowered to the reference voltage VSS, and the first transistor T1 is ensured to be turned off.

When the first photosensitive diode PD1 and the second photosensitive diode PD2 are turned off, the fourth resistor RD1 and the fifth resistor RD2 are used to lower the voltage on the control terminal of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 to the reference voltage VSS, and ensure that the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 can be turned off.
