The timing control unit (300) outputs digital video data (DATA) and a PWM control signal (DCS) to the source drive unit (200).

[0062] The source driver (200) converts digital video data (DATA) into analog PWM data voltages and outputs them to PWM data wires (DL). As a result, subpixels (RP, GP, BP) are selected by the scan write signals of the scan driver (110), and PWM data voltages can be supplied to the selected subpixels (RP, GP, BP).

[0063] The power supply unit (400) can output a first PAM data voltage to the first PAM data lines (RDL) in common, output a second PAM data voltage to the second PAM data lines (GDL) in common, and output a third PAM data voltage to the third PAM data lines (BDL) in common. Additionally, the power supply unit (400) can generate a plurality of power voltages and output them to the display panel (100).

[0064] The power supply unit (400) can output a first power voltage (VDD1), a second power voltage (VDD2), a third power voltage (VSS), an initialization voltage (VINT), a gate-on voltage (VGL), and a gate-off voltage (VGH) to the display panel (100). The first power voltage (VDD1) and the second power voltage (VDD2) may be high-potential driving voltages for driving the light-emitting elements of each of the subpixels (RP, GP, BP). The third driving voltage (VINT) may be a low-potential driving voltage for driving the light-emitting elements of each of the subpixels (RP, GP, BP). The initialization voltage (VINT) and the gate-off voltage (VGH) are applied to each of the subpixels (RP, GP, BP), and the gate-on voltage (VGL) and the gate-off voltage (VGH) may be applied to the scan driving unit (110).

[0065] Each of the source driving unit (200), the timing control unit (300), and the power supply unit (400) can be formed as an integrated circuit. Additionally, the source driving unit (200) can be formed as a plurality of integrated circuits.

[0066] FIG. 5 is a graph showing the luminous efficiency of the first light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element according to one embodiment as a function of temperature.

[0067] In Fig. 5, the X-axis represents the temperature of the first light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element, and the Y-axis represents the ratio of the relative luminous brightness of the first light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element. In Fig. 5, the luminous brightness of the first light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element was calculated as 100% when the temperature of the first light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element was 25 degrees.

[0068] Referring to FIG. 5, the first light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element each emit light through a driving current and thereby emit heat. That is, the first light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element each are exposed to heat as they are driven.

[0069] The luminous brightness ratio of the first light-emitting element changes significantly with temperature changes. For example, when the temperature of the first light-emitting element is -20 degrees, the first light-emitting element has a luminous brightness ratio of approximately 160%. In contrast, when the temperature of the first light-emitting element is 120 degrees, the first light-emitting element has a luminous brightness ratio of approximately 40%. That is, even if the same driving current is applied to the first light-emitting element, the luminous brightness ratio of the first light-emitting element differs by approximately 120% in the temperature range of -20 degrees to 120 degrees.

[0070] The luminous brightness ratio of the third light-emitting element changes slightly with temperature change. For example, when the same driving current is applied to the third light-emitting element, the luminous brightness ratio of the third light-emitting element differs little in the temperature range of -20 degrees to 120 degrees.

[0071] In FIG. 5, the first light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element are compared, and the second light-emitting element is not mentioned, but the ratio of the light-emitting brightness of the second light-emitting element to the change in temperature may be smaller than the ratio of the light-emitting brightness of the first light-emitting element to the change in temperature. That is, since the first light-emitting element is more sensitive to changes in temperature than the second light-emitting element and the third light-emitting element, it is necessary to keep the temperature of the first light-emitting element low.

[0072] FIG. 6 is a circuit diagram showing a first subpixel according to another embodiment.

[0073] Referring to FIG. 6, a first subpixel (RP) according to one embodiment may be connected to a k-th (k is a positive integer) scan write wire (GWLk), a k-th scan initialization wire (GILk), a k-th scan control wire (GCLk), a k-th sweep signal wire (SWPLk), a k-th PWM light emission wire (PWELk), a k-th PAM light emission wire (PAELk), a first light emission control wire (RCL1), and a second light emission control wire (RCL2). Additionally, the first subpixel (RP) may be connected to a j-th PWM data wire (DLj) and a first PAM data wire (RDL). Additionally, the first subpixel (RP) may be connected to a first power line (VDL1) to which a first power voltage (VDD1) is applied, a second power line (VDL2) to which a second power voltage (VDD2) is applied, a third power line (VSL) to which a third power voltage (VSS) is applied, an initialization voltage line (VIL) to which an initialization voltage (VINT) is applied, and a gate-off voltage line (VGHL) to which a gate-off voltage (VGH) is applied. Meanwhile, for convenience of explanation, the j-th PWM data line (DLj) may be referred to as the first data line, and the first PAM data line (RDL) may be referred to as the second data line.

[0074] The first subpixel (RP) may include a first light-emitting element (REL) comprising a first sublight-emitting element (REL1) and a second sublight-emitting element (REL2), a first pixel driver (PDU1), a second pixel driver (PDU2), and a third pixel driver (PDU3).

[0075] Each of the first sub-light-emitting element (REL1) and the second sub-light-emitting element (REL2) emits a first light according to the driving current (Ids) generated by the second pixel driver (PDU2). The first sub-light-emitting element (REL1) may be placed between the 19th transistor (T19) and the third power line (VSL), and the second sub-light-emitting element (REL2) may be placed between the 20th transistor (T20) and the third power line (VSL). The first electrode of the first sub-light-emitting element (REL1) may be connected to the second electrode of the 19th transistor (T19), and the second electrode may be connected to the third power line (VSL). The first electrode of the second sub-light-emitting element (REL2) may be connected to the second electrode of the 20th transistor (T20), and the second electrode may be connected to the third power line (VSL).

[0076] The first electrode of each of the first sub-light-emitting element (REL1) and the second sub-light-emitting element (REL2) may be an anode electrode, and the second electrode may be a cathode electrode. Each of the first sub-light-emitting element (REL1) and the second sub-light-emitting element (REL2) may be an inorganic light-emitting element comprising a first electrode, a second electrode, and an inorganic semiconductor disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. For example, each of the first sub-light-emitting element (REL1) and the second sub-light-emitting element (REL2) may be a micro light-emitting diode made of an inorganic semiconductor, but is not limited thereto.

[0077] The first pixel driver (PDU1) generates a control current (Ic) according to the j-th PWM data voltage of the j-th PWM data line (DLj) and controls the voltage of the third node (N3) of the third pixel driver (PDU3). Since the pulse width of the driving current (Ids) flowing to the first light-emitting element (REL) can be adjusted by the control current (Ic) of the first pixel driver (PDU1), the first pixel driver (PDU1) may be a pulse width modulation unit (PWM unit) that performs pulse width modulation of the driving current (Ids) flowing to the first light-emitting element (REL).

[0078] The first pixel driver (PDU1) may include first to seventh transistors (T1 to T7) and a first capacitor (PC1).

[0079] The first transistor (T1) controls the control current (Ic) flowing between the second electrode and the first electrode according to the PWM data voltage applied to the gate electrode.

[0080] The second transistor (T2) is turned on by the k-th scan write signal of the k-th scan write wire (GWLk) to supply the PWM data voltage of the j-th PWM data wire (DLj) to the first electrode of the first transistor (T1). The gate electrode of the second transistor (T2) is connected to the k-th scan write wire (GWLk), the first electrode is connected to the j-th PWM data wire (DLj), and the second electrode can be connected to the first electrode of the first transistor (T1).

[0081] The third transistor (T3) is turned on by the k-th scan initialization signal of the k-th scan initialization wiring (GILk) to connect the initialization voltage wiring (VIL) to the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1). As a result, during the period when the third transistor (T3) is turned on, the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) can be discharged to the initialization voltage (VINT) of the initialization voltage wiring (VIL). At this time, the gate-on voltage (VGL) of the k-th scan initialization signal may be different from the initialization voltage (VINT) of the initialization voltage wiring (VIL). In particular, since the difference voltage between the gate-on voltage (VGL) and the initialization voltage (VINT) is greater than the threshold voltage of the third transistor (T3), the third transistor (T3) can be stably turned on even after the initialization voltage (VINT) is applied to the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1). Therefore, when the third transistor (T3) is turned on, an initialization voltage (VINT) can be stably applied to the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) regardless of the threshold voltage of the third transistor (T3).

[0082] The third transistor (T3) may include a plurality of transistors connected in series. For example, the third transistor (T3) may include a first sub-transistor (T31) and a second sub-transistor (T32). This prevents the voltage of the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) from leaking through the third transistor (T3). The gate electrode of the first sub-transistor (T31) may be connected to the k-th scan initialization wiring (GILk), the first electrode may be connected to the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1), and the second electrode may be connected to the first electrode of the second sub-transistor (T32).

[0083] The fourth transistor (T4) is turned on by the k-th scan write signal of the k-th scan write wiring (GWLk) to connect the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) and the second electrode. As a result, the first transistor (T1) can operate as a diode during the period when the fourth transistor (T4) is turned on.

[0084] The fourth transistor (T4) may include a plurality of transistors connected in series. For example, the fourth transistor (T4) may include a third sub-transistor (T41) and a fourth sub-transistor (T42). This prevents the voltage of the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) from leaking through the fourth transistor (T4). The gate electrode of the third sub-transistor (T41) may be connected to the k-th scan write wire (GWLk), the first electrode may be connected to the second electrode of the first transistor (T1), and the second electrode may be connected to the first electrode of the fourth sub-transistor (T42). The gate electrode of the fourth sub-transistor (T42) may be connected to the k-th scan write wire (GWLk), the first electrode may be connected to the second electrode of the third sub-transistor (T41), and the second electrode may be connected to the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1).

[0085] The fifth transistor (T5) is turned on by the k-th PWM light emission signal of the k-th PWM light emission wiring (PWELk) to connect the first electrode of the first transistor (T1) to the first power wiring (VDL1). The gate electrode of the fifth transistor (T5) is connected to the k-th PWM light emission wiring (PWELk), the first electrode is connected to the first power wiring (VDL1), and the second electrode can be connected to the first electrode of the first transistor (T1).

[0086] The sixth transistor (T6) is turned on by the k-th PWM light emission signal of the k-th PWM light emission wiring (PWELk) to connect the second electrode of the first transistor (T1) to the third node (N3) of the third pixel driver (PDU3).

[0087] The seventh transistor (T7) can be turned on by the k-th scan control signal of the k-th scan control line (GCLk) to supply the gate off voltage (VGH) of the gate off voltage line (VGHL) to the first node (N1) connected to the k-th sweep signal line (SWPLk). As a result, the voltage change of the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) by the first capacitor (PC1) can be prevented from being reflected in the k-th sweep signal of the k-th sweep signal line (SWPLk) during the period when the initialization voltage (VINT) is applied to the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) and the period when the PWM data voltage of the j-th PWM data line (DLj) and the threshold voltage (Vth1) of the first transistor (T1) are programmed. The gate electrode of the seventh transistor (T7) is connected to the k-th scan control wiring (GCLk), the first electrode is connected to the gate off voltage wiring (VGHL), and the second electrode can be connected to the first node (N1).

[0088] The first capacitor (PC1) can be placed between the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) and the first node (N1). One electrode of the first capacitor (PC1) can be connected to the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1), and the other electrode can be connected to the first node (N1).

[0089] The first node (N1) may be the contact of the k-th sweep signal wiring (SWPLk), the second electrode of the seventh transistor (T7), and the other electrode of the first capacitor (PC1).

[0090] The second pixel driver (PDU2) generates a driving current (Ids) applied to the first light-emitting element (REL) according to the first PAM data voltage of the first PAM data wiring (RDL). The second pixel driver (PDU2) may be a pulse amplitude modulation unit (PAM unit) that performs pulse amplitude modulation. The second pixel driver (PDU2) may be a constant current generator that generates a constant driving current (Ids) according to the first PAM data voltage.

[0091] Additionally, the second pixel driver (PDU2) of each of the first subpixels (RP) can receive the same first PAM data voltage regardless of the brightness of the first subpixel (RP) and generate the same driving current (Ids). Similarly, the second pixel driver (PDU2) of each of the second subpixels (GP) can receive the same second PAM data voltage regardless of the brightness of the second subpixel (GP) and generate the same driving current (Ids). The second pixel driver (PDU2) of each of the third subpixels (BP) can receive the same third PAM data voltage regardless of the brightness of the third subpixel (BP) and generate the same driving current (Ids).

[0092] The second pixel driver (PDU2) may include eight to fourteen transistors (T8 to T14) and a second capacitor (PC2).

[0093] The eighth transistor (T8) controls the driving current (Ids) flowing to the first light-emitting element (REL) according to the voltage applied to the gate electrode.

[0094] The ninth transistor (T9) is turned on by the k-th scan write signal of the k-th scan write wiring (GWLk) to supply the first PAM data voltage of the first PAM data wiring (RDL) to the first electrode of the eighth transistor (T8).

[0095] The 10th transistor (T10) is turned on by the k-th scan initialization signal of the k-th scan initialization wire (GILk) to connect the initialization voltage wire (VIL) to the gate electrode of the 8th transistor (T8). As a result, during the period when the 10th transistor (T10) is turned on, the gate electrode of the 8th transistor (T8) can be discharged to the initialization voltage (VINT) of the initialization voltage wire (VIL). At this time, the gate-on voltage (VGL) of the k-th scan initialization signal may be different from the initialization voltage (VINT) of the initialization voltage wire (VIL). In particular, since the difference voltage between the gate-on voltage (VGL) and the initialization voltage (VINT) is greater than the threshold voltage of the 10th transistor (T10), the 10th transistor (T10) can be stably turned on even after the initialization voltage (VINT) is applied to the gate electrode of the 8th transistor (T8). Therefore, when the 10th transistor (T10) is turned on, an initialization voltage (VINT) can be stably applied to the gate electrode of the 8th transistor (T8) regardless of the threshold voltage of the 10th transistor (T10).

[0096] The tenth transistor (T10) may include a plurality of transistors connected in series. For example, the tenth transistor (T10) may include a fifth sub-transistor (T101) and a sixth sub-transistor (T102). This prevents the voltage of the gate electrode of the eighth transistor (T8) from leaking through the tenth transistor (T10).

As a result, the 8th transistor (T8) can operate as a diode during the period when the 11th transistor (T11) is turned on.

[0098] The eleventh transistor (T11) may include a plurality of transistors connected in series. For example, the eleventh transistor (T11) may include a seventh sub-transistor (T111) and an eighth sub-transistor (T112). This prevents the voltage of the gate electrode of the eighth transistor (T8) from leaking through the eleventh transistor (T11). The gate electrode of the seventh sub-transistor (T111) may be connected to the k-th scan write wire (GWLk), the first electrode may be connected to the second electrode of the eighth transistor (T8), and the second electrode may be connected to the first electrode of the eighth sub-transistor (T112). The gate electrode of the eighth sub-transistor (T112) may be connected to the k-th scan write wire (GWLk), the first electrode may be connected to the second electrode of the seventh sub-transistor (T111), and the second electrode may be connected to the gate electrode of the eighth transistor (T8).

[0100] The 13th transistor (T13) is turned on by the k-th scan control signal of the k-th scan control wire (GCLk) to connect the first power wire (VDL1) to the second node (N2). The gate electrode of the 13th transistor (T13) is connected to the k-th scan control wire (GCLk), the first electrode is connected to the second power wire (VDL2), and the second electrode can be connected to the second node (N2).

[0101] The 14th transistor (T14) is turned on by the k-th PWM light emission signal of the k-th PWM light emission wiring (PWELk) to connect the second power wiring (VDL2) to the second node (N2). As a result, when the 14th transistor (T14) is turned on, the second power voltage (VDD2) of the second power wiring (VDL2) can be supplied to the second node (N2).

[0106] The 15th transistor (T15) is turned on or turned off depending on the voltage of the 3rd node (N3). When the 15th transistor (T15) is turned on, the driving current (Ids) of the 8th transistor (T8) is supplied to the 1st light-emitting element (REL), and when the 15th transistor (T15) is turned off, the driving current (Ids) of the 8th transistor (T8) may not be supplied to the 1st light-emitting element (REL). Therefore, the turn-on period of the 15th transistor (T15) may be substantially the same as the light-emitting period of the 1st light-emitting element (REL). The gate electrode of the 15th transistor (T15) is connected to the 3rd node (N3), the 1st electrode is connected to the 2nd electrode of the 8th transistor (T8), and the 2nd electrode can be connected to the 1st electrode of the 17th transistor (T17).

[0116] In addition, FIG. 6 describes the first to twentieth transistors (T1 to T20) as being formed as P-type MOSFETs (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors), but the embodiments of this specification are not limited thereto. For example, each of the first to twentieth transistors (T1 to T20) may be formed as N-type MOSFETs.

[0117] Alternatively, to increase the black expression capability of the first light-emitting element (REL) by blocking leakage current, the first sub-transistor (T31) and second sub-transistor (T32) of the third transistor (T3) in the first sub-pixel (RP), the third sub-transistor (T41) and fourth sub-transistor (T42) of the fourth transistor (T4), the fifth sub-transistor (T101) and sixth sub-transistor (T102) of the tenth transistor (T10), and the seventh sub-transistor (T111) and eighth sub-transistor (T112) of the eleventh transistor (T11) may be formed as N-type MOSFETs. In this case, the first sub-transistor (T31) and second sub-transistor (T32) of the third transistor (T3), the third sub-transistor (T41) and fourth sub-transistor (T42) of the fourth transistor (T4), the fifth sub-transistor (T101) and sixth sub-transistor (T102) of the tenth transistor (T10), and the seventh sub-transistor (T111) and eighth sub-transistor (T112) of the eleventh transistor (T11) can be turned on when a gate-off voltage (VGH) is applied to the gate electrode. Therefore, the gate electrode of the third sub-transistor (T41) of the fourth transistor (T4) and the gate electrode of the fourth sub-transistor (T42), and the gate electrode of the seventh sub-transistor (T111) of the eleventh transistor (T11) and the gate electrode of the eighth sub-transistor (T112) can be connected to the k-th control wiring to which the k-th control signal is applied instead of the k-th scan write wiring (GILk).Additionally, the active layers of the first sub-transistor (T31) and second sub-transistor (T32) of the third transistor (T3), the third sub-transistor (T41) and fourth sub-transistor (T42) of the fourth transistor (T4), the fifth sub-transistor (T101) and sixth sub-transistor (T102) of the tenth transistor (T10), and the seventh sub-transistor (T111) and eighth sub-transistor (T112) of the eleventh transistor (T11) may be formed of oxide semiconductor, and the remaining transistors may be formed of polysilicon.

[0118] Alternatively, either the first sub-transistor (T31) or the second sub-transistor (T32) of the third transistor (T3) may be formed as an N-type MOSFET, and the other as a P-type MOSFET. In this case, among the first sub-transistor (T31) and the second sub-transistor (T32) of the third transistor (T3), the active layer of the transistor formed as an N-type MOSFET may be formed of an oxide semiconductor, and the active layer of the transistor formed as a P-type MOSFET may be formed of polysilicon.

[0119] Alternatively, either the third sub-transistor (T41) or the fourth sub-transistor (T42) of the fourth transistor (T4) may be formed as an N-type MOSFET, and the other as a P-type MOSFET. In this case, among the third sub-transistor (T41) and the fourth sub-transistor (T42) of the fourth transistor (T4), the active layer of the transistor formed as an N-type MOSFET may be formed of an oxide semiconductor, and the active layer of the transistor formed as a P-type MOSFET may be formed of polysilicon.

[0120] Alternatively, either one of the fifth sub-transistor (T101) and the sixth sub-transistor (T102) of the tenth transistor (T10) may be formed as an N-type MOSFET, and the other may be formed as a P-type MOSFET. In this case, among the fifth sub-transistor (T101) and the sixth sub-transistor (T102) of the tenth transistor (T10), the active layer of the transistor formed as an N-type MOSFET may be formed as an oxide semiconductor, and the active layer of the transistor formed as a P-type MOSFET may be formed as polysilicon.

[0121] Alternatively, either the seventh sub-transistor (T111) or the eighth sub-transistor (T112) of the eleventh transistor (T11) may be formed as an N-type MOSFET, and the other as a P-type MOSFET. In this case, among the seventh sub-transistor (T111) and the eighth sub-transistor (T112) of the eleventh transistor (T11), the active layer of the transistor formed as an N-type MOSFET may be formed of an oxide semiconductor, and the active layer of the transistor formed as a P-type MOSFET may be formed of polysilicon.

[0122] FIG. 7 is a circuit diagram showing a second subpixel according to one embodiment.

[0123] The embodiment of FIG. 7 differs from the embodiment of FIG. 6 in that the second subpixel (GP) includes a single light-emitting element (GEL) and does not include the 19th transistor (T19) and the 20th transistor (T20). In FIG. 7, descriptions that overlap with the embodiment of FIG. 6 are omitted.

[0124] Referring to FIG. 7, the second light-emitting element (GEL) emits a second light according to the driving current (Ids) generated by the second pixel driver (PDU2). The second light-emitting element (GEL) may be placed between the 17th transistor (T17) and the third power line (VSL). The first electrode of the second light-emitting element (GEL) may be connected to the second electrode of the 17th transistor (T17), and the second electrode may be connected to the third power line (VSL).

[0125] The first electrode of the second light-emitting element (GEL) may be an anode electrode, and the second electrode may be a cathode electrode. The second light-emitting element (GEL) may be an inorganic light-emitting element comprising a first electrode, a second electrode, and an inorganic semiconductor disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. For example, the second light-emitting element (GEL) may be a micro light-emitting diode made of an inorganic semiconductor, but is not limited thereto.

[0126] The 17th transistor (T17) is turned on by the k-th PAM light emission signal of the k-th PAM light emission wiring (PAELk) to connect the second electrode of the 15th transistor (T15) to the first electrode of the second light emission element (EL2). The gate electrode of the 17th transistor (T17) is connected to the k-th PAM light emission wiring (PAELk), the first electrode is connected to the second electrode of the 15th transistor (T15), and the second electrode can be connected to the first electrode of the second light emission element (EL2).

[0127] The 18th transistor (T18) is turned on by the k-th scan control signal of the k-th scan control wiring (GCLk) to connect the initialization voltage wiring (VIL) to the first electrode of the second light-emitting element (EL2). As a result, during the period when the 18th transistor (T18) is turned on, the first electrode of the second light-emitting element (EL2) can be discharged to the initialization voltage (VINT) of the initialization voltage wiring (VIL). The gate electrode of the 18th sub-transistor (T18) is connected to the k-th scan control wiring (GCLk), the first electrode is connected to the first electrode of the second light-emitting element (EL2), and the second electrode can be connected to the initialization voltage wiring (VIL).

[0128] FIG. 8 is a circuit diagram showing a third subpixel according to one embodiment.

[0129] The embodiment of FIG. 8 differs from the embodiment of FIG. 6 in that the third subpixel (BP) includes one third light-emitting element (BEL) and does not include the 19th transistor (T19) and the 20th transistor (T20). In FIG. 8, descriptions that overlap with the embodiment of FIG. 6 are omitted.

[0130] Referring to FIG. 8, the third light-emitting element (BEL) emits a third light according to the driving current (Ids) generated by the second pixel driver (PDU2). The third light-emitting element (BEL) may be placed between the 17th transistor (T17) and the third power line (VSL). The first electrode of the third light-emitting element (BEL) may be connected to the second electrode of the 17th transistor (T17), and the second electrode may be connected to the third power line (VSL).

[0131] The first electrode of the third light-emitting element (BEL) may be an anode electrode, and the second electrode may be a cathode electrode. The third light-emitting element (BEL) may be an inorganic light-emitting element comprising a first electrode, a second electrode, and an inorganic semiconductor disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. For example, the third light-emitting element (BEL) may be a micro light-emitting diode made of an inorganic semiconductor, but is not limited thereto.

[0132] The 17th transistor (T17) and the 18th transistor (T18) are substantially the same as described in conjunction with FIG. 7, except that they are connected to the 3rd light-emitting element (BEL) instead of the 2nd light-emitting element (GEL), so a description of them is omitted.

[0133] FIG. 9 is an example drawing showing the operation of a display device during the Nth to N+2nd frame period.

[0134] Referring to FIG. 9, each of the Nth to N+2nd frame periods may include an active period (ACT) and a blank period (VB). The active period (ACT) may include a data addressing period (ADDR) that supplies a PWM data voltage and a first / second / third PAM data voltage to each of the first to third subpixels (RP, GP, BP), and a plurality of light-emitting periods (EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4, EP5, …, EPn) in which the light-emitting element (EL) of each of the subpixels (RP, GP, BP) emits light. The blank period (VB) may be a period during which the subpixels (RP, GP, BP) of the display panel (100) are idle.

[0135] The address period (ADDR) and the first light emission period (EP1) may be shorter than each of the second to nth light emission periods (EP2, EP3, EP4, EP5, …, EPn). For example, the address period (ADDR) and the first light emission period (EP1) may be approximately 5 horizontal periods, and each of the second to nth light emission periods (EP2, EP3, EP4, EP5, …, EPn) may be approximately 12 horizontal periods, but the embodiments of this specification are not limited thereto. Additionally, the active period (ACT) may include 25 light emission periods, but the number of light emission periods (EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4, EP5, …, EPn) of the active period (ACT) is not limited thereto.

[0136] The subpixels (RP, GP, BP) of the display panel (100) can receive PWM data voltage and first / second / third PAM data voltage sequentially by row line during the address period (ADDR). For example, they can receive PWM data voltage and first / second / third PAM data voltage sequentially from the subpixels (RP, GP, BP) placed on the first row line to the subpixels (RP, GP, BP) placed on the nth row line corresponding to the last row line.

[0137] The subpixels (RP, GP, BP) of the display panel (100) can emit light sequentially by row line in each of the plurality of light emission periods (EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4, EP5, …, EPn). For example, they can emit light sequentially from the subpixels (RP, GP, BP) placed in the first row line to the subpixels (RP, GP, BP) placed in the last row line.

[0138] The address period (ADDR) may overlap with at least one of the light emission periods (EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4, …, EPn). For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the address period (ADDR) may overlap with the first to third light emission periods (EP1, EP2, EP3). In this case, when subpixels (RP, GP, BP) placed on the p-th row line (p is a positive integer) receive a PWM data voltage and a first / second / third PAM data voltage, subpixels (RP, GP, BP) placed on the q-th row line (q is a positive integer smaller than p) may emit light.

[0139] Additionally, each of the light emission periods (EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4, …, EPn) may overlap with an adjacent light emission period. For example, the second light emission period (EP2) may overlap with the first light emission period (EP1) and the third light emission period (EP3). In this case, subpixels (RP, GP, BP) placed on the p-th row line may emit light during the second light emission period (EP2), while subpixels (RP, GP, BP) placed on the q-th row line may emit light during the first light emission period (EP1).

[0140] FIG. 10 is another example drawing showing the operation of a display device during the Nth to N+2nd frame period.

[0141] The embodiment of FIG. 10 differs from the embodiment of FIG. 9 in that the subpixels (RP, GP, BP) of the display panel (100) emit light simultaneously during each of the plurality of light-emitting periods (EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4, EP5, …, EPn).

[0142] Referring to FIG. 10, the address period (ADDR) may not overlap with multiple light emission periods (EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4, …, EPn). The first light emission period (EP1) may occur after the address period (ADDR) has completely ended.

[0143] Multiple light emission periods (EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4, …, EPn) may not overlap each other. In each of the multiple light emission periods (EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4, EP5, …, EPn), subpixels (RP, GP, BP) placed on all row lines may emit light simultaneously.

[0144] FIG. 11 is a waveform diagram showing a k-th scan initialization signal, a k-th scan write signal, a k-th scan control signal, a k-th PWM light emission signal, a k-th PAM light emission signal, a k-th sweep signal, a voltage of a third node, a light emission timing of a light-emitting element, a first light emission control signal, and a second light emission control signal applied to a first subpixel placed on a k-th row line during the N-th and N+1 frame periods according to one embodiment.

[0145] Referring to FIG. 11, a first subpixel (RP) placed on the k-th row line can be connected to the k-th scan initialization wire (GILk), the k-th scan write wire (GWLk), the k-th scan control wire (GCLk), the k-th PWM light emission wire (PWELk), the k-th PAM light emission wire (PAELk), the k-th sweep signal wire (SWPLk), the first light emission control wire (RCL1), and the second light emission control wire (RCL2). The k-th scan initialization signal (GIk) refers to a signal applied to the k-th scan initialization wire (GILk), and the k-th scan write signal (GWk) refers to a signal applied to the k-th scan write wire (GWLk). The k-th scan control signal (GCk) refers to a signal applied to the k-th scan control wire (GCLk), and the k-th PWM light emission signal (PWEMk) refers to a signal applied to the k-th PWM light emission wire (PWELk). The k-th PAM light emission signal (PAEMk) refers to a signal applied to the k-th PAM light emission wiring (PAELk), and the k-th sweep signal (SWPk) refers to a signal applied to the k-th sweep signal wiring (SWPLk). The first light emission control signal (RCS1) refers to a signal applied to the first light emission control wiring (RCL1), and the second light emission control signal (RCS2) refers to a signal applied to the second light emission control wiring (RCL2).

[0146] Scan initialization signals (GIk~GIk+5), scan write signals (GWk~GWk+5), scan control signals (GCk~GCk+5), PWM light emission signals (PWEMk~PAEMk+5), PAM light emission signals (PAEMk~PAEMk+5), and sweep signals (SWPk~SWPk+5) can be sequentially shifted by one horizontal period. The k-th scan write signal (GWk) is a signal in which the k-th scan initialization signal (GIk) is shifted by one horizontal period, and the k+1 scan write signal (GWk+1) may be a signal in which the k+1 scan initialization signal (GIk+1) is shifted by one horizontal period. In this case, since the k+1 scan initialization signal (GIk+1) is a signal in which the k-th scan initialization signal (GIk) is shifted by one horizontal period, the k-th scan write signal (GWk) and the k+1 scan initialization signal (GIk+1) may be substantially the same.

[0147] The k-th scan initialization signal (GIk) is a signal for controlling the turn-on and turn-off of the third and tenth transistors (T3, T10) of each of the subpixels (RP, GP, BP). The k-th scan write signal (GWk) is a signal for controlling the turn-on and turn-off of the second, fourth, ninth, and eleventh transistors (T2, T4, T9, T11) of each of the subpixels (RP, GP, BP). The k-th scan control signal (GCk) is a signal for controlling the turn-on and turn-off of the seventh, thirteenth, sixteenth, and eighteenth transistors (T7, T13, T16, T18) of each of the subpixels (RP, GP, BP). The k-th PWM light emission signal (PWEMk) is a signal for controlling the turn-on and turn-off of the 5th, 6th, 12th, and 14th transistors (T5, T6, T12, T14). The k-th PAM light emission signal (PAEMk) is a signal for controlling the turn-on and turn-off of the 17th transistor (T17). The first light emission control signal (RCS1) is a signal for controlling the turn-on and turn-off of the 19th transistor (T19). The second light emission control signal (RCS2) is a signal for controlling the turn-on and turn-off of the 20th transistor (T20). The k-th scan initialization signal, the k-th scan write signal, the k-th scan control signal, the k-th PWM light emission signal, the k-th PAM light emission signal, and the k-th sweep signal may occur with a period of one frame.

[0148] The address period (ADDR) includes the first to fourth periods (t1 to t4). The first period (t1) and the fourth period (t4) are first initialization periods for initializing the voltage (V_N3) of the first electrode of the light-emitting element (EL) and the third node (N3). The second period (t2) is a second initialization period for initializing the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) and the gate electrode of the eighth transistor (T8). The third period (t3) is a period for sampling the PWM data voltage (Vdata) of the j-th PWM data line (DLj) and the threshold voltage (Vth1) of the first transistor (T1) at the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1), and sampling the first PAM data voltage (Rdata) of the first PAM data line (RDL) and the threshold voltage (Vth8) of the eighth transistor (T8) at the gate electrode of the eighth transistor (T8).

[0149] The first light emission period (EM1) includes the fifth period (t5) and the sixth period (t6). The first light emission period (EM1) is a period for controlling the turn-on period of the 15th transistor (T15) according to the control current (Ic) and supplying a driving current (Ids) to the light-emitting element (EL).

[0150] Each of the second to nth emission periods (EM2~EMn) includes the seventh to ninth periods (t7~t9). The seventh period (t7) is a third initialization period for initializing the third node (N3), the eighth period (t8) is substantially the same period as the fifth period (t5), and the ninth period (t9) is substantially the same period as the sixth period (t6).

[0151] Among the first to nth luminescence periods (EM1~EMn), adjacent luminescence periods may be spaced apart by approximately several to tens of horizontal periods.

[0152] The k-th scan initialization signal (GIk) may have a gate-on voltage (VGL) during the second period (t2) and a gate-off voltage (VGH) during the remaining periods. That is, the k-th scan initialization signal (GIk) may have a scan initialization pulse that occurs at the gate-on voltage (VGL) during the second period (t2). The gate-off voltage (VGH) may be a voltage level higher than the gate-on voltage (VGL).

[0153] The k-th scan write signal (GWk) may have a gate-on voltage (VGL) during the third period (t3) and a gate-off voltage (VGH) during the remaining periods. That is, the k-th scan write signal (GWk) may have a scan write pulse that occurs at the gate-on voltage (VGL) during the third period (t3).

[0154] The k-th scan control signal (GCk) may have a gate-on voltage (VGL) during the first to fourth periods (t1 to t4) and the seventh period (t7), and a gate-off voltage (VGH) during the remaining periods. That is, the k-th scan control signal (GCk) may have a scan control pulse that occurs at the gate-on voltage (VGL) during the first to fourth periods (t1 to t4) and the seventh period (t7).

[0155] The k-th sweep signal (SWPk) may have a triangular wave-shaped sweep pulse during the sixth period (t6) and the ninth period (t9), and may have a gate-off voltage (VGH) during the remaining periods. For example, the sweep pulse of the k-th sweep signal (SWPk) may have a triangular wave-shaped pulse that decreases linearly from the gate-off voltage (VGH) to the gate-on voltage (VGL) during the sixth period (t6) and the ninth period (t9), respectively, and increases directly from the gate-on voltage (VGL) to the gate-off voltage (Voff) at the end of the sixth period (t6) and the end of the ninth period (t9).

[0156] The k-th PWM light emission signal (PWEMk) may have a gate-on voltage (VGL) during the fifth and sixth periods (t5, t6) and the eighth and ninth periods (t8, t9), and a gate-off voltage (VGH) during the remaining periods. That is, the k-th PWM light emission signal (PWEMk) may include PWM pulses generated at the gate-on voltage (VGL) during the fifth and sixth periods (t5, t6) and the eighth and ninth periods (t8, t9). The PWM pulse width of the k-th PWM light emission signal (PWEMk) may be greater than the sweep pulse width of the k-th sweep signal (SWPk).

[0157] The k-th PAM emission signal (PAEMk) may have a gate-on voltage (VGL) during the sixth period (t6) and the ninth period (t9), and a gate-off voltage (VGH) during the remaining periods. That is, the k-th PAM emission signal (PAEMk) may include PAM pulses generated at the gate-on voltage (VGL) during the sixth period (t6) and the ninth period (t9).

[0158] The first light emission control signal (RCS1) has a gate-on voltage (VGL) during the Nth frame period and may have a gate-off voltage (Voff) during the N+1th frame period. The second light emission control signal (RCS2) has a gate-off voltage (Voff) during the Nth frame period and may have a gate-on voltage (VGL) during the N+1th frame period. That is, the first light emission control signal (RCS1) and the second light emission control signal (RCS2) may have different voltages during the 1st frame period.

[0159] FIG. 12 is a timing diagram showing the k-th sweep signal, the voltage of the gate electrode of the first transistor, the turn-on timing of the first transistor, and the turn-on timing of the 15th transistor during the fifth and sixth periods according to one embodiment. FIG. 13 to 16 are circuit diagrams showing the operation of the first subpixel during the first period, second period, third period, fifth period, and sixth period of the N-frame period of FIG. 11.

[0160] Hereinafter, in conjunction with FIGS. 11 to 16, the operation of a first subpixel (RP) according to one embodiment during the first to ninth periods (t1 to t9) during the Nth frame period will be examined in detail.

[0161] During the Nth frame period, the 19th transistor (T19) is turned on by the first light emission control signal (RCS1) of the gate-on voltage (VGL), and the 20th transistor (T20) is turned off by the second light emission control signal (RCS2) of the gate-off voltage (VGH).

[0162] First, during the first period (t1), as shown in FIG. 13, the 11th sub-transistor (T181) and 12th sub-transistor (T182) of the 7th transistor (T7), 13th transistor (T13), 16th transistor (T16), and 18th transistor (T18) are turned on by the k-th scan control signal (GCk) of the gate-on voltage (VGL).

[0163] Due to the turn-on of the 7th transistor (T7), the gate-off voltage (VGH) of the gate-off voltage wiring (VGHL) is applied to the 1st node (N1). Due to the turn-on of the 13th transistor (T13), the 1st power supply voltage (VDD1) of the 1st power supply wiring (VDL1) is applied to the 2nd node (N2).

[0164] Due to the turn-on of the 16th transistor (T16), the 3rd node (N3) is initialized with the initial voltage (VINT) of the initial voltage wiring (VIL), and the 15th transistor (T15) is turned on by the initial voltage (VINT) of the 3rd node (N3).

[0165] Due to the turn-on of the first sub-transistor (T181) and the second sub-transistor (T182) of the 18th transistor (T18), the first electrode of the first sub-light-emitting element (REL1) and the first electrode of the second sub-light-emitting element (REL2) are initialized to the initial voltage (VINT) of the initial voltage wiring (VIL).

[0166] Secondly, during the second period (t2), as shown in FIG. 14, the first sub-transistor (T181) and the second sub-transistor (T182) of the seventh transistor (T7), the thirteenth transistor (T13), the sixteenth transistor (T16), and the eighteenth transistor (T18) are turned on by the k-th scan control signal (GCk) of the gate-on voltage (VGL). Additionally, during the second period (t2), the third transistor (T3) and the tenth transistor (T10) are turned on by the k-th scan initialization signal (GILk) of the gate-on voltage (VGL).

[0167] The first sub-transistor (T181) and the second sub-transistor (T182) of the seventh transistor (T7), the thirteenth transistor (T13), the fifteenth transistor (T15), the sixteenth transistor (T16), and the eighteenth transistor (T18) are substantially the same as those described in the first period (t1).

[0168] Due to the turn-on of the third transistor (T3), the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) is initialized to the initial voltage (VINT) of the initial voltage wiring (VIL). Also, due to the turn-on of the tenth transistor (T10), the gate electrode of the eighth transistor (T8) is initialized to the initial voltage (VINT) of the initial voltage wiring (VIL).

[0169] At this time, since the gate off voltage (VGH) of the gate off voltage wiring (VGHL) is applied to the first node (N1), the amount of voltage change of the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) is reflected in the k-th sweep signal wiring (SWPLk) by the first capacitor (PC1), thereby preventing the gate off voltage (VGH) of the k-th sweep signal (SWPk) from fluctuating.

[0170] Thirdly, during the third period (t3), as shown in FIG. 15, the first sub-transistor (T181) and the second sub-transistor (T182) of the seventh transistor (T7), the thirteenth transistor (T13), the sixteenth transistor (T16), and the eighteenth transistor (T18) are turned on by the k-th scan control signal (GCk) of the gate-on voltage (VGL). Also, during the third period (t3), the second transistor (T2), the fourth transistor (T4), the ninth transistor (T9), and the eleventh transistor (T11) are turned on by the k-th scan write signal (GWk) of the gate-on voltage (VGL).

[0171] The first sub-transistor (T181) and the second sub-transistor (T182) of the seventh transistor (T7), the thirteenth transistor (T13), the fifteenth transistor (T15), the sixteenth transistor (T16), and the eighteenth transistor (T18) are substantially the same as those described in the first period (t1).

[0172] Due to the turn-on of the second transistor (T2), the PWM data voltage (Vdata) of the j-th PWM data line (DLj) is applied to the first electrode of the first transistor (T1). Due to the turn-on of the fourth transistor (T4), the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) and the second electrode are connected to each other, so the first transistor (T1) is driven as a diode.

[0173] At this time, since the voltage between the gate electrode and the first electrode of the first transistor (T1) (Vgs = VINT - Vdata) is greater than the threshold voltage (Vth1), the first transistor (T1) is turned on and forms a current path until the voltage between the gate electrode and the first electrode (Vgs) reaches the threshold voltage (Vth1). As a result, the voltage of the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) can rise from "VINT" to "Vdata + Vth1". Since the first transistor (T1) is formed as a P-type MOSFET, the threshold voltage (Vth1) of the first transistor (T1) can be less than 0V.

[0174] In addition, since the gate off voltage (VGH) of the gate off voltage wiring (VGHL) is applied to the first node (N1), the amount of voltage change of the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) is reflected in the k-th sweep signal wiring (SWPLk) by the first capacitor (PC1), thereby preventing the gate off voltage (VGH) of the k-th sweep signal (SWPk) from fluctuating.

[0175] Due to the turn-on of the ninth transistor (T9), the first PAM data voltage (Rdata) of the first PAM data line (RDL) is applied to the first electrode of the eighth transistor (T8). Due to the turn-on of the ninth transistor (T9), the gate electrode and the second electrode of the eighth transistor (T8) are connected to each other, so the eighth transistor (T8) is driven as a diode.

[0176] At this time, since the voltage (Vgs = VINT - Rdata) between the gate electrode and the first electrode of the eighth transistor (T8) is greater than the threshold voltage (Vth8), the eighth transistor (T8) forms a current path until the voltage (Vgs) between the gate electrode and the first electrode reaches the threshold voltage (Vth8). As a result, the voltage of the gate electrode of the eighth transistor (T8) can rise from "VINT" to "Rdata + Vth8".

[0177] Fourth, during the fourth period (t4), the first sub-transistor (T181) and the second sub-transistor (T182) of the seventh transistor (T7), the thirteenth transistor (T13), the sixteenth transistor (T16), and the eighteenth transistor (T18) are turned on by the k-th scan control signal (GCk) of the gate-on voltage (VGL).

[0178] The first sub-transistor (T181) and the second sub-transistor (T182) of the seventh transistor (T7), the thirteenth transistor (T13), the sixteenth transistor (T16), and the eighteenth transistor (T18) are substantially the same as those described in the first period (t1).

[0179] Fifth, during the fifth period (t5), as shown in FIG. 16, the fifth transistor (T5), the sixth transistor (T6), the twelfth transistor (T12), and the fourteenth transistor (T14) are turned on by the k-th PWM light emission signal (PWEMk) of the gate-on voltage (VGL).

[0180] Due to the turn-on of the fifth transistor (T5), the first power supply voltage (VDD1) is applied to the first electrode of the first transistor (T1). Additionally, due to the turn-on of the sixth transistor (T6), the second electrode of the first transistor (T1) is connected to the third node (N3).

[0181] The control current (Ic) flowing according to the voltage (Vdata+Vth1) of the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) during the fifth period (t5) may not depend on the threshold voltage (Vth1) of the first transistor (T1) as shown in Equation 1.

[0182]

[0183] In Equation 1, k" represents a proportionality constant determined by the structure and physical characteristics of the first transistor (T1), Vth1 represents the threshold voltage of the first transistor (T1), VDD1 represents the first power supply voltage, and Vdata represents the PWM data voltage. In Equation 1, Vgs represents the voltage between the gate electrode and the first electrode of the first transistor (T1).

[0184] Additionally, due to the turn-on of the 12th transistor (T12), the first electrode of the 8th transistor (T8) can be connected to the 2nd power wiring (VDL2).

[0185] Additionally, due to the turn-on of the 14th transistor (T14), the second power supply voltage (VDD2) of the second power supply wiring (VDL2) is applied to the second node (N2). When the second power supply voltage (VDD2) of the second power supply wiring (VDL2) fluctuates due to voltage drop or the like, the voltage difference (ΔV2) between the first power supply voltage (VDD1) and the second power supply voltage (VDD2) can be reflected to the gate electrode of the 8th transistor (T8) by the second capacitor (PC2).

[0186] Due to the turn-on of the 14th transistor (T14), a driving current (Ids) flowing according to the voltage (Rdata+Vth8) of the gate electrode of the 8th transistor (T8) can be supplied to the 15th transistor (T15). The driving current (Ids) may not depend on the threshold voltage (Vth8) of the 8th transistor (T8) as shown in Equation 2.

[0187]

[0188] In Equation 2, k' represents a proportionality constant determined by the structure and physical characteristics of the eighth transistor (T8), Vth8 represents the threshold voltage of the eighth transistor (T8), VDD2 represents the second power supply voltage, and Rdata represents the first PAM data voltage. In Equation 2, Vgs represents the voltage between the gate electrode and the first electrode of the eighth transistor (T8).

[0189] Sixth, during the sixth period (t6), as shown in FIG. 16, the fifth transistor (T5), the sixth transistor (T6), the twelfth transistor (T12), and the fourteenth transistor (T14) are turned on by the k-th PWM light emission signal (PWEMk) at the gate-on voltage (VGL). During the sixth period (t6), as shown in FIG. 16, the seventeenth transistor (T17) is turned on by the k-th PAM light emission signal (PAEMk) at the gate-on voltage (VGL). During the sixth period (t6), the k-th sweep signal (SWPk) decreases linearly from the gate-off voltage (VGH) to the gate-on voltage (VGL).

[0190] The fifth transistor (T5), the sixth transistor (T6), the twelfth transistor (T12), and the fourteenth transistor (T14) are substantially the same as those described in the fifth period (t5).

[0191] During the Nth frame period, the 19th transistor (T19) is turned on by the first light emission control signal (RCS1) of the gate-on voltage (VGL). As a result, when the 17th transistor (T17) is turned on, the first electrode of the first sub-light emitting element (REL1) can be connected to the second electrode of the 15th transistor (T15).

[0192] During the sixth period (t6), the k-th sweep signal (SWPk) decreases linearly from the gate-off voltage (VGH) to the gate-on voltage (VGL). Since the voltage change amount (ΔV1) of the k-th sweep signal (SWPk) is reflected by the first capacitor (PC1) to the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1), the voltage of the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) can be Vdata + Vth1 - ΔV1. That is, during the sixth period (t6), the voltage of the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) can be linearly lowered according to the voltage decrease of the k-th sweep signal (SWPk).

[0193] The period during which the control current (Ic) is applied to the third node (N3) can vary depending on the magnitude of the PWM data voltage (Vdata) applied to the first transistor (T1). As a result, since the voltage (V_N3) of the third node (N3) varies depending on the magnitude of the PWM data voltage (Vdata) applied to the first transistor (T1), the turn-on period of the 15th transistor (T15) can be controlled. Therefore, by controlling the turn-on period of the 15th transistor (T15), the period (SEP) during which the driving current (Ids) is applied to the first sub-emissive element (REL1) during the 6th period (t6) can be controlled.

[0194] First, as shown in FIG. 12, when the PWM data voltage (Vdata) of the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) is a PWM data voltage of peak black gradation, the voltage (VG_T1) of the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) may be lower than the first power supply voltage (VDD1), which is the voltage of the first electrode of the first transistor (T1), throughout the sixth period (t6) according to the voltage reduction of the k-th sweep signal (SWPk). Therefore, the first transistor (T1) may be turned on throughout the sixth period (t6). As a result, the control current (Ic) of the first transistor (T1) flows to the third node (N3) throughout the fifth period (t5) and the sixth period (t6), and the voltage (V_N3) of the third node (N3) may rise to a high level (VH) during the fifth period (t5). Therefore, the 15th transistor (T15) can be turned off throughout the 6th period (t6). Thus, since the driving current (Ids) is not applied to the 1st sub-light-emitting element (REL1) during the 6th period (t6), the 1st sub-light-emitting element (REL1) may not emit light during the 6th period (t6).

[0195] Additionally, as shown in FIG. 12, when the PWM data voltage (Vdata) of the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) is a grayscale PWM data voltage, the voltage (VG_T1) of the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) may have a level higher than the first power supply voltage (VDD1) during the first sub-period (t61) and a level lower than the first power supply voltage (VDD1) during the second sub-period (t62) according to the voltage reduction of the k-th sweep signal (SWPk). Therefore, the first transistor (T1) may be turned on during the second sub-period (t62) of the sixth period (t6). In this case, the control current (Ic) of the first transistor (T1) flows to the third node (N3) during the second sub-period (t62), so the voltage (V_N3) of the third node (N3) may have a high level (VH) during the second sub-period (t62). Therefore, the 15th transistor (T15) can be turned off during the second sub-period (t62). Accordingly, the driving current (Ids) is applied to the first sub-lighting element (REL1) during the first sub-period (t61) and is not applied to the first sub-lighting element (REL1) during the second sub-period (t62). That is, the first sub-lighting element (REL1) can emit light during the first sub-period (t61), which is part of the sixth period (t6). The closer the first sub-pixel (RP) expresses a gray scale close to the peak black scale, the shorter the light emission period (SET) of the first sub-lighting element (REL1) can be. Also, the closer the first sub-pixel (RP) expresses a gray scale close to the peak white scale, the longer the light emission period (SET) of the first sub-lighting element (REL1) can be.

[0196] Additionally, as shown in FIG. 12, when the PWM data voltage (Vdata) of the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) is a PWM data voltage of peak white gradation, the voltage (VG_T1) of the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) may be higher than the first power supply voltage (VDD1) during the sixth period (t6), despite the voltage reduction of the k-th sweep signal (SWPk). As a result, the first transistor (T1) may be turned off throughout the sixth period (t6). In this case, since the control current (Ic) of the first transistor (T1) does not flow to the third node (N3) throughout the sixth period (t6), the voltage of the third node (N3) may maintain the initialization voltage (VINT). Therefore, the fifth transistor (T15) may be turned on throughout the sixth period (t6). Accordingly, the driving current (Ids) is applied to the first sub-luminescent element (REL1) throughout the sixth period (t6), and the first sub-luminescent element (REL1) can emit light throughout the sixth period (t6).

[0197] Additionally, as the k-th sweep signal (SWPk) rises from the gate-on voltage (VGL) to the gate-off voltage (VGH) at the end of the sixth period (t6), the voltage (VG_T1) of the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1) at the end of the sixth period (t6) can rise to be substantially the same as in the fifth period (t5).

[0198] Meanwhile, when the digital video data converted into PWM data voltages is 8 bits, the digital video data of the peak black gradation may be 0, and the digital video data of the peak white gradation may be 255. Additionally, the digital video data of the black gradation region may be 0 to 63, the digital video data of the gray gradation region may be 64 to 191, and the digital video data of the white gradation region may be 192 to 255.

[0199] Additionally, each of the 7th period (t7), 8th period (t8), and 9th period (t9) of the 2nd to 9th light-emitting periods (EP2~EPn) is substantially the same as the 1st period (t1), 5th period (t5), and 6th period (t6) described above. That is, in each of the 2nd to 9th light-emitting periods (EP2~EPn), after initializing the 3rd node (N3), the period for applying the driving current (Ids) generated according to the 1st PAM data voltage (Rdata) written to the gate electrode of the 8th transistor (T8) based on the PWM data voltage (Vdata) written to the gate electrode of the 1st transistor (T1) during the address period (ADDR) can be adjusted.

[0200] FIG. 17 is a circuit diagram showing the operation of the first subpixel during the 6th period of the N+1 frame period of FIG. 11.

[0201] Referring to FIG. 17, during the N+1 frame period, the 19th transistor (T19) is turned off by the first light emission control signal (RCS1) of the gate off voltage (VGH), and the 20th transistor (T20) is turned on by the second light emission control signal (RCS2) of the gate on voltage (VGL). Therefore, when the 17th transistor (T17) is turned on, the first electrode of the second sub-light emitting element (REL2) can be connected to the second electrode of the 15th transistor (T15). Accordingly, during the 6th period (t6), a driving current (Ids) is applied to the second sub-light emitting element (REL2), and the second sub-light emitting element (REL2) can emit light.

[0202] That is, the operation of the first subpixel (RP) during the sixth period (t6) of the N+1 frame period is substantially the same as the operation of the first subpixel (RP) during the sixth period (t6) of the Nth frame period described in conjunction with FIG. 16, except that the second sub-lighting element (REL2) emits light instead of the first sub-lighting element (REL1), so the explanation thereof is omitted.

[0203] As seen above, by adjusting the PWM data voltage applied to the gate electrode of the first transistor (T1), the light emission period (SET) of the first sub-light emitting element (REL1) and the light emission period of the second sub-light emitting element (REL2) can be adjusted. Therefore, rather than adjusting the magnitude of the driving current (Ids), the driving current (Ids) can be kept constant, and the period during which the driving current (Ids) is applied to the first sub-light emitting element (REL1) or the second sub-light emitting element (REL2) can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the gradation that the first sub-pixel (RP) intends to express.

[0204] Additionally, the first subpixel (RP) emits light through the first sub-light-emitting element (REL1) during the Nth frame period and through the second sub-light-emitting element (REL2) during the N+1th frame period. That is, the first sub-light-emitting element (REL1) and the second sub-light-emitting element (REL2) of the first subpixel (RP) emit light during different periods. Therefore, the emission period (SET) of the first sub-light-emitting element (REL1) and the emission period of the second sub-light-emitting element (REL2) can be reduced to half compared to the emission period of the second emission element (GEL) and the emission period of the third emission element (BELBEL), respectively. As a result, the amount of heat generated by the first sub-light-emitting element (REL1) and the second sub-light-emitting element (REL2) can be reduced, thereby allowing the temperature of the first sub-light-emitting element (REL1) and the second sub-light-emitting element (REL2) to be lowered. Therefore, it is possible to reduce or prevent the decrease in the luminous brightness of the first sub-luminous element (REL1) and the second sub-luminous element (REL2) due to the heat generated by the first sub-luminous element (REL1) and the second sub-luminous element (REL2).

[0205] FIG. 18 is a circuit diagram showing the operation of the second subpixel during the sixth period of the Nth frame period and the N+1th frame period of FIG. 11.

[0206] Referring to FIG. 18, the second subpixel (GP) includes a second light-emitting element (GEL), and when the 17th transistor (T17) is turned on, the first electrode of the second light-emitting element (GEL) can be connected to the second electrode of the 15th transistor (T15). Accordingly, during the 6th period (t6), a driving current (Ids) is applied to the second light-emitting element (GEL), and the second light-emitting element (GEL) can emit light.

[0207] That is, the operation of the second subpixel (GP) during the sixth period (t6) is substantially the same as the operation of the first subpixel (RP) during the sixth period (t6) of the Nth frame period described in conjunction with FIG. 16, except that the second light-emitting element (GEL) emits light regardless of the Nth frame period and the N+1th frame period, so the explanation thereof is omitted.

[0208] In addition, the operation of the first to fifth periods (t1 to t5) of the second subpixel (GP) can also operate substantially the same as the operation of the first to fifth periods (t1 to t5) of the first subpixel (RP) described in conjunction with FIGS. 11 to 16, so a description thereof is omitted.

[0209] Meanwhile, since the operation of the third subpixel (BP) is substantially the same as that of the second subpixel (GP), the description of the operation of the third subpixel (BP) during the first to sixth periods (t1 to t6) of the Nth frame period and the N+1st frame period is omitted.

For example, the n-type semiconductor (NSEM) can be placed on the lower side of the base substrate (SPUB). The n-type semiconductor (NSEM) can be made of GaN doped with n-type conductive dopants such as Si, Ge, Se, Sn, etc.

[0325] The active layer (MQW) may be disposed on a portion of one surface of an n-type semiconductor (NSEM). The active layer (MQW) may include a material having a single or multiple quantum well structure. When the active layer (MQW) includes a material having a multiple quantum well structure, it may have a structure in which multiple well layers and barrier layers are alternately stacked. In this case, the well layers may be formed of InGaN, and the barrier layers may be formed of GaN or AlGaN, but are not limited thereto. Alternatively, the active layer (MQW) may have a structure in which semiconductor materials with large band gap energy and semiconductor materials with small band gap energy are alternately stacked, or it may include different Group 3 to Group 5 semiconductor materials depending on the wavelength of the emitted light.

[0326] A p-type semiconductor (PSEM) can be disposed on one side of an active layer (MQW). The p-type semiconductor (PSEM) can be made of GaN doped with p-type conductive dopants such as Mg, Zn, Ca, Ba, etc.

[0327] A first contact electrode (CTE1) is disposed on a p-type semiconductor (PSEM), and a second contact electrode (CTE2) may be disposed on another part of one side of an n-type semiconductor (NSEM). The other part of the side of the n-type semiconductor (NSEM) on which the second contact electrode (CTE2) is disposed may be disposed apart from the part of the side of the n-type semiconductor (NSEM) on which the active layer (MQW) is disposed.

[0328] The first contact electrode (CTE1) and the anode pad electrodes (APD1 / APD2 / APD) can be bonded to each other through a conductive adhesive member such as an anisotropic conductive film (ACF) or anisotropic conductive paste (ACP). Alternatively, the first contact electrode (CTE1) and the anode pad electrodes (APD1 / APD2 / APD) can be bonded to each other through a soldering process.

[0329] The second contact electrode (CTE2) and the cathode pad electrode (CPD) can be bonded to each other through a conductive adhesive member such as an anisotropic conductive film (ACF) or anisotropic conductive paste (ACP). Alternatively, the second contact electrode (CTE2) and the cathode pad electrode (CPD) can be bonded to each other through a soldering process.

[0330] As described above, the first sub-pixel (RP) can reduce the light emission period (SET) of the first sub-light emission element (REL1) and the light emission period (SET) of the second sub-light emission element (REL2) by connecting two light-emitting elements, namely the first sub-light emission element (REL1) and the second sub-light emission element (REL2), to a single pixel circuit. As a result, the amount of heat generated by the first sub-light emission element (REL1) and the second sub-light emission element (REL2) can be reduced, thereby lowering the temperature of the first sub-light emission element (REL1) and the second sub-light emission element (REL2). Therefore, it is possible to reduce or prevent the decrease in the light emission brightness of the first sub-light emission element (REL1) and the second sub-light emission element (REL2) caused by the heat generated by the first sub-light emission element (REL1) and the second sub-light emission element (REL2).

[0331] FIG. 29 is a circuit diagram showing a first subpixel according to one embodiment.

[0332] The embodiment of FIG. 29 differs from the embodiment of FIG. 6 in that the 17th transistor (T17) of the 1st subpixel (RP) includes the 13th subpixel (T171) and the 14th subpixel (T172), and the 19th transistor (T19) and the 20th transistor (T20) are omitted. In FIG. 30, descriptions that overlap with the embodiment of FIG. 6 are omitted.

[0333] Referring to FIG. 29, the 17th transistor (T17) may include a 13th sub-transistor (T171) and a 14th sub-transistor (T172).

[0334] The 13th sub-transistor (T171) is turned on by the k-th PAMA light emission signal of the k-th PAMA light emission wiring (PAALk) to connect the second electrode of the 15th transistor (T15) to the first electrode of the first sub-light emission element (REL1). The gate electrode of the 13th sub-transistor (T171) is connected to the k-th PAMA light emission wiring (PAALk), the first electrode is connected to the second electrode of the 15th transistor (T15), and the second electrode can be connected to the first electrode of the first sub-light emission element (REL1).

[0335] The 14th sub-transistor (T172) is turned on by the k-th PAMB light emission signal of the k-th PAMB light emission wiring (PABLk) to connect the second electrode of the 15th transistor (T15) to the first electrode of the second sub-light emission element (REL2). The gate electrode of the 14th sub-transistor (T172) is connected to the k-th PAMB light emission wiring (PABLk), the first electrode is connected to the second electrode of the 15th transistor (T15), and the second electrode can be connected to the first electrode of the second sub-light emission element (REL2).

[0336] FIG. 30 is a circuit diagram showing a second subpixel according to one embodiment. The embodiment of FIG. 30 differs from the embodiment of FIG. 29 in that the second subpixel (GP) includes one second light-emitting element (GEL). In FIG. 30, descriptions that overlap with the embodiment of FIG. 29 are omitted.

[0337] Referring to FIG. 30, the second light-emitting element (GEL) emits a second light according to the driving current (Ids) generated by the second pixel driver (PDU2). The second light-emitting element (GEL) may be positioned between the 13th sub-transistor (T171) of the 17th transistor (T17) and the third power line (VSL), and between the 14th sub-transistor (T172) of the 17th transistor (T17) and the third power line (VSL). The first electrode of the second light-emitting element (GEL) is connected to the second electrode of the 13th sub-transistor (T171) of the 17th transistor (T17) and the second electrode of the 14th sub-transistor (T172), and the second electrode may be connected to the third power line (VSL).

[0338] The 18th transistor (T18) is turned on by the k-th scan control signal of the k-th scan control wiring (GCLk) to connect the initialization voltage wiring (VIL) to the first electrode of the second light-emitting element (EL2). As a result, during the period when the 18th transistor (T18) is turned on, the first electrode of the second light-emitting element (EL2) can be discharged to the initialization voltage (VINT) of the initialization voltage wiring (VIL). The gate electrode of the 18th sub-transistor (T18) is connected to the k-th scan control wiring (GCLk), the first electrode is connected to the first electrode of the second light-emitting element (EL2), and the second electrode can be connected to the initialization voltage wiring (VIL).

[0339] FIG. 31 is a circuit diagram showing a third subpixel according to one embodiment.

[0340] The embodiment of FIG. 31 differs from the embodiment of FIG. 29 in that the third subpixel (BP) includes a third light-emitting element (BEL). In FIG. 31, descriptions that overlap with the embodiment of FIG. 29 are omitted.

[0341] Referring to FIG. 31, the third light-emitting element (BEL) emits a third light according to the driving current (Ids) generated by the third pixel driver (PDU3). The third light-emitting element (BEL) may be positioned between the 13th sub-transistor (T171) of the 17th transistor (T17) and the third power line (VSL), and between the 14th sub-transistor (T172) of the 17th transistor (T17) and the third power line (VSL). The first electrode of the third light-emitting element (BEL) is connected to the second electrode of the 13th sub-transistor (T171) of the 17th transistor (T17) and the second electrode of the 14th sub-transistor (T172), and the second electrode may be connected to the third power line (VSL).

[0342] The 18th transistor (T18) is substantially the same as described in conjunction with FIG. 30, except that it is connected to the 3rd light-emitting element (BEL) instead of the 2nd light-emitting element (GEL), so a description of these is omitted.

[0343] FIG. 32 is a waveform diagram showing the period during which a k-th scan initialization signal, a k-th scan write signal, a k-th scan control signal, a k-th PWM light emission signal, a k-th PAMA light emission signal, a k-th PAMB light emission signal, and a k-th sweep signal are applied to a first subpixel placed on a k-th row line during an N-frame period according to one embodiment, and a driving current applied to a third node and a light-emitting element.

[0344] The embodiment of FIG. 32 differs from the embodiment of FIG. 11 in that the k-th PAM emission signal (PAEMk) is deleted and the k-th PAMA emission signal (PAAMk) and the k-th PAMB emission signal (PAMBk) are added.

[0345] Referring to FIG. 32, the k-th PAMA light-emitting signal (PAAMk) indicates a signal applied to the k-th PAMA light-emitting wiring (PAALk), and the k-th PAMB light-emitting signal (PAMBk) indicates a signal applied to the k-th PAMB light-emitting wiring (PABLk).

[0346] The k-th PAMA light emission signal (PAAMk) is a signal for controlling the turn-on and turn-off of the 13th sub-transistor (T171) of the 17th transistor (T17). The k-th PAMB light emission signal (PAMBk) is a signal for controlling the turn-on and turn-off of the 14th sub-transistor (T172) of the 17th transistor (T17). The k-th PAMA light emission signal (PAAMk) and the k-th PAMA light emission signal (PAAMk) can occur with a period of one frame.

[0347] The k-th PAMA light emission signal (PAAMk) may have a gate-on voltage (VGL) during odd-numbered light emission periods (EP1, EP3, ?, EPn-1) among a plurality of light emission periods (EP1~EPn) of one frame period, and may have a gate-off voltage (VGH) during the remaining periods. The k-th PAMA light emission signal (PAAMk) may include PAM pulses that occur at the gate-on voltage (VGL) during the 6th period (t6) or the 9th period (t9) of each of the odd-numbered light emission periods (EP1, EP3, ?, EPn-1).

[0348] The k-th PAMB light emission signal (PAMBk) may have a gate-on voltage (VGL) during the superior light emission periods (EP2, EP4, ⪋, EPn) among the plurality of light emission periods (EP1~EPn) of a frame period, and may have a gate-off voltage (VGH) during the remaining periods. The k-th PAMB light emission signal (PAMBk) may include PAM pulses that occur at the gate-on voltage (VGL) during the 6th period (t6) or the 9th period (t9) of each of the superior light emission periods (EP2, EP4, ⪋, EPn).

[0349] Referring to FIGS. 29 and 32, the 13th sub-transistor (T171) and the 14th transistor (T172) can be turned on during different light emission periods among a plurality of light emission periods (EP1 to EPn) of one frame period. Therefore, the first sub-light emitting element (REL1) can be supplied with a driving current (Ids) through the 13th sub-transistor (T171) during odd light emission periods (EP1, EP3, EPn-1) among a plurality of light emission periods (EP1 to EPn) of one frame period, and the second sub-light emitting element (REL2) can be supplied with a driving current (Ids) through the 14th sub-transistor (T172) during even light emission periods (EP2, EP4, EPn).

[0350] Additionally, referring to FIGS. 30 to 32, each of the second light-emitting element (GEL) and the third light-emitting element (BEL) can receive a driving current (Ids) through the 13th sub-transistor (T171) during odd-numbered light-emitting periods (EP1, EP3, EPn-1) among multiple light-emitting periods (EP1 to EPn) of one frame period, and receive a driving current (Ids) through the 14th sub-transistor (T172) during even-numbered light-emitting periods (EP2, EP4, EPn). Therefore, each of the second light-emitting element (GEL) and the third light-emitting element (BEL) can emit light throughout multiple light-emitting periods (EP1 to EPn) of one frame period.

[0351] As shown in FIGS. 29 to 32, that is, the first sub-emissive element (REL1) and the second sub-emissive element (REL2) of the first sub-pixel (RP) emit light during different periods. Therefore, the light emission period of the first sub-emissive element (REL1) and the light emission period of the second sub-emissive element (REL2) can be reduced to half compared to the light emission period of the second light emission element (GEL) and the light emission period of the third light emission element (BEL), respectively. As a result, the amount of heat generated by the first sub-emissive element (REL1) and the second sub-emissive element (REL2) can be reduced, and thus the temperature of the first sub-emissive element (REL1) and the second sub-emissive element (REL2) can be lowered. Accordingly, the decrease in the luminous brightness of the first sub-emissive element (REL1) and the second sub-emissive element (REL2) due to the heat generated by the first sub-emissive element (REL1) and the second sub-emissive element (REL2) can be reduced or prevented.

[0352] FIG. 33 is an exemplary drawing showing a PAMA light emission signal output unit and a PAMB light emission signal output unit according to one embodiment.

[0353] In FIG. 33, for convenience of explanation, the k-th to k+6 PAMA stages (PASTk~PASTk+6) of the PAMA light emission signal output unit (1151) and the k-th to k+6 PAMB stages (PBSTk~PBSTk+6) of the PAMB light emission signal output unit (1152) are exemplified.

[0355] Referring to FIG. 33, the light emission control signal driving unit (115) includes a PAMA light emission signal output unit (1151) and a PAMB light emission signal output unit (1152). Although the PAMA light emission signal output unit (1151) is exemplified as being positioned on one side of the display area (DA), for example, on the left, and the PAMB light emission signal output unit (1152) is exemplified as being positioned on the other side of the display area (DA), for example, on the right, the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto. For example, both the PAMA light emission signal output unit (1151) and the PAMB light emission signal output unit (1152) may be positioned on one side of the display area (DA) or on both sides of the display area (DA).

[0356] PAMA clock wirings (PACL1~PACL6) to which PAMA clock signals with sequentially delayed phases are applied may be arranged on one side, for example, the left side, of the k to k+6 PAMA stages (PASTk~PASTk+6). PAMB clock wirings (PBCL1~PBCL6) to which PAMB clock signals with sequentially delayed phases are applied may be arranged on one side, for example, the right side, of the k to k+6 PAMB stages (PBSTk~PBSTk+6).

[0357] In FIG. 33, six PAMA clock wires (PACL1~PACL6) and six PAMB clock wires (PBCL1~PBCL6) are exemplified, but the number of PAMA clock wires (PACL1~PACL6) and PBMA clock wires (PBCL1~PBCL6) is not limited thereto.

[0358] Each of the k to k+6 PAMA stages (PASTk to PASTk+6) can be connected to any one of the six PAMA clock wires (PACL1 to PACL6) and any one of the k to k+6 PAMA light-emitting wires (PAALk to PAALk+6). The k to k+6 PAMA stages (PASTk to PASTk+6) can be alternately connected to the six PAMA clock wires (PACL1 to PACL6). For example, the k-th PAMA stages (PASTk) may be connected to the first PAMA clock wire (PACL1), the k+1-th PAMA stages (PASTk+1) may be connected to the second PAMA clock wire (PACL2), the k+2-th PAMA stages (PASTk+2) may be connected to the third PAMA clock wire (PACL3), and the k+3-th PAMA stages (PASTk+3) may be connected to the fourth PAMA clock wire (PACL4). Additionally, the k+4-th PAMA stages (PASTk+4) may be connected to the fifth PAMA clock wire (PACL5), the k+5-th PAMA stages (PASTk+5) may be connected to the sixth PAMA clock wire (PACL6), and the k+7-th PAMA stages (PASTk+7) may be connected to the first PAMA clock wire (PACL1). Similarly, the k to k+6 PAMB stages (PBSTk to PBSTk+6) can be connected to any one of the six PAMB clock wires (PBCL1 to PBCL6) and any one of the k to k+6 PAMB light-emitting wires (PABLk to PABLk+6).

[0359] Figure 34 is a waveform diagram showing PAMA clock signals and PAMB clock signals.

[0360] Referring to FIG. 34, the first to sixth PAMA clock signals (PACK1 to PACK6) refer to signals applied to the first to sixth PAMA clock wires (PACL1 to PACL6), respectively. The first to sixth PAMB clock signals (PBCK1 to PBCK6) refer to signals imprinted on the first to sixth PAMB clock wires (PBCL1 to PBCL6), respectively.

[0361] The first to sixth PAMA clock signals (PACK1 to PACK6) and the first to sixth PAMB clock wires (PBCL1 to PBCL6) may be signals with sequentially delayed phases. For example, the second PAMA clock signal (PACK2) may be delayed in phase by one horizontal period compared to the first PAMA clock signal (PACK1), the third PAMA clock signal (PACK3) may be delayed in phase by one horizontal period compared to the second PAMA clock signal (PACK2), the fourth PAMA clock signal (PACK4) may be delayed in phase by one horizontal period compared to the third PAMA clock signal (PACK3), the fifth PAMA clock signal (PACK5) may be delayed in phase by one horizontal period compared to the fourth PAMA clock signal (PACK4), and the sixth PAMA clock signal (PACK6) may be delayed in phase by one horizontal period compared to the fifth PAMA clock signal (PACK5).

[0362] Additionally, the first PAMB clock signal (PBCK1) may be phase-delayed by one horizontal period compared to the sixth PAMB clock signal (PACK6), the second PAMB clock signal (PBCK2) may be phase-delayed by one horizontal period compared to the first PAMB clock signal (PBCK1), the third PAMB clock signal (PBCK3) may be phase-delayed by one horizontal period compared to the second PAMB clock signal (PBCK2), the fourth PAMB clock signal (PBCK4) may be phase-delayed by one horizontal period compared to the third PAMB clock signal (PBCK3), the fifth PAMB clock signal (PBCK5) may be phase-delayed by one horizontal period compared to the fourth PAMB clock signal (PBCK4), and the sixth PAMB clock signal (PBCK6) may be phase-delayed by one horizontal period compared to the fifth PAMB clock signal (PBCK5).

[0363] Referring to FIGS. 33 and 34, each of the k to k+6 PAMA stages (PASTk to PASTk+6) can output PAM pulses of a PAMA clock signal applied through a PAMA clock wiring connected thereto to a corresponding PAMA light-emitting wiring. For example, the k PAMA stage (PASTk) can output PAM pulses of the gate-on voltage (VGL) of the first PAMA clock signal (PACK1) of the first PAMA clock wiring (PACL1) to the k PAMA light-emitting wiring (PAALk). The k+1 PAMA stage (PASTk+1) can output PAM pulses of the gate-on voltage (VGL) of the second PAMA clock signal (PACK2) of the second PAMA clock wiring (PACL2) to the k+1 PAMA light-emitting wiring (PAALk+1). The k+2 PAMA stages (PASTk+2) can output PAM pulses of the gate-on voltage (VGL) of the third PAMA clock signal (PACK3) of the third PAMA clock wiring (PACL3) to the k+2 PAMA light-emitting wiring (PAALk+2). The k+3 PAMA stages (PASTk+3) can output PAM pulses of the gate-on voltage (VGL) of the fourth PAMA clock signal (PACK4) of the fourth PAMA clock wiring (PACL4) to the k+3 PAMA light-emitting wiring (PAALk+3). Similarly, each of the k to k+6 PAMB stages (PBSTk to PBSTk+6) can output PAM pulses of the PAMB clock signal applied through the PAMB clock wiring connected thereto to the corresponding PAMB light-emitting wiring.

[0364] Additionally, the k+4th PAMA stages (PASTk+4) can output PAM pulses of the gate-on voltage (VGL) of the 5th PAMA clock signal (PACK4) of the 5th PAMA clock wiring (PACL5) to the k+4th PAMA light-emitting wiring (PAALk+4).

[0365] FIG. 35 is a perspective view showing a tile-type display device including a plurality of display devices according to one embodiment.

[0366] Referring to FIG. 35, the tile-type display device (TD) may include a plurality of display devices (11, 12, 13, 14) and a joint (SM). For example, the tile-type display device (TD) may include a first display device (11), a second display device (12), a third display device (13), and a fourth display device (14).

[0367] Multiple display devices (11, 12, 13, 14) may be arranged in a grid form. Multiple display devices (11, 12, 13, 14) may be arranged in a matrix form with M (M is a positive integer) rows and N (N is a positive integer) columns. For example, the first display device (11) and the second display device (12) may be adjacent to each other in the first direction (DR1). The first display device (11) and the third display device (13) may be adjacent to each other in the second direction (DR2). The third display device (13) and the fourth display device (14) may be adjacent to each other in the first direction (DR1). The second display device (12) and the fourth display device (14) may be adjacent to each other in the second direction (DR2).

[0368] However, the number and arrangement of multiple display devices (11, 12, 13, 14) in the tile-type display device (TD) are not limited to those shown in FIG. 35. The number and arrangement of display devices (11, 12, 13, 14) in the tile-type display device (TD) may be determined according to the size of each of the display device (10) and the tile-type display device (TD) and the shape of the tile-type display device (TD).

[0369] Multiple display devices (11, 12, 13, 14) may have the same size as each other, but are not limited thereto. For example, multiple display devices (11, 12, 13, 14) may have different sizes.

[0370] Each of the plurality of display devices (11, 12, 13, 14) may have a rectangular shape including a long side and a short side. The plurality of display devices (11, 12, 13, 14) may be arranged such that their long sides or short sides are connected to one another. Some or all of the plurality of display devices (11, 12, 13, 14) may be placed at the edge of the tile-type display device (TD) and may form one side of the tile-type display device (TD). At least one of the plurality of display devices (11, 12, 13, 14) may be placed at at least one corner of the tile-type display device (TD) and may form two adjacent sides of the tile-type display device (TD). At least one of the plurality of display devices (11, 12, 13, 14) may be surrounded by other display devices.

[0371] Each of the plurality of display devices (11, 12, 13, 14) may be substantially identical to the display device (100) described in conjunction with FIG. 1. Therefore, a description of each of the plurality of display devices (11, 12, 13, 14) is omitted.

[0372] The joint (SM) may include a connecting member or an adhesive member. In this case, a plurality of display devices (11, 12, 13, 14) may be connected to each other through the connecting member or adhesive member of the joint (SM). The joint (SM) may be positioned between the first display device (11) and the second display device (12), between the first display device (11) and the third display device (13), between the second display device (12) and the fourth display device (14), and between the third display device (13) and the fourth display device (14).

[0373] Fig. 36 is an enlarged layout diagram showing the area E of Fig. 35 in detail.

[0374] Referring to FIG. 36, the joint (SM) may have a planar shape of a column cross, a cross, or an addition sign in the central area of ​​a tiled display device (TD) where the first display device (11), the second display device (12), the third display device (13), and the fourth display device (14) are adjacent. The joint (SM) may be positioned between the first display device (11) and the second display device (12), between the first display device (11) and the third display device (13), between the second display device (12) and the fourth display device (14), and between the third display device (13) and the fourth display device (14).

[0375] The first display device (11) may include first pixels (PX1) arranged in a matrix form in a first direction (DR1) and a second direction (DR2) to display an image. The second display device (12) may include second pixels (PX2) arranged in a matrix form in a first direction (DR1) and a second direction (DR2) to display an image. The third display device (13) may include third pixels (PX3) arranged in a matrix form in a first direction (DR1) and a second direction (DR2) to display an image. The fourth display device (14) may include fourth pixels (PX4) arranged in a matrix form in a first direction (DR1) and a second direction (DR2) to display an image.

[0376] The minimum distance between adjacent first pixels (PX1) in the first direction (DR1) is defined as the first horizontal separation distance (GH1), and the minimum distance between adjacent second pixels (PX2) in the first direction (DR1) can be defined as the second horizontal separation distance (GH2). The first horizontal separation distance (GH1) and the second horizontal separation distance (GH2) may be substantially the same.

[0377] A joint (SM) may be disposed between adjacent first pixel (PX1) and second pixel (PX2) in the first direction (DR1). The minimum distance (GM12) between adjacent first pixel (PX1) and second pixel (PX2) in the first direction (DR1) may be the sum of the minimum distance (GHS1) between the first pixel (PX1) and the joint (SM) in the first direction (DR1), the minimum distance (GHS2) between the second pixel (PX2) and the joint (SM) in the first direction (DR1), and the width (GSM1) of the joint (SM) in the first direction (DR1).

[0378] In the first direction (DR1), the minimum distance (GM12), the first horizontal separation distance (GH1), and the second horizontal separation distance (GH2) between adjacent first pixels (PX1) and second pixels (PX2) may be substantially the same. To this end, in the first direction (DR1), the minimum distance (GHS1) between the first pixel (PX1) and the joint (SM) may be smaller than the first horizontal separation distance (GH1), and the minimum distance (GHS2) between the second pixel (PX2) and the joint (SM) in the first direction (DR1) may be smaller than the second horizontal separation distance (GH2). Additionally, in the first direction (DR1), the width (GSM1) of the joint (SM) may be smaller than the first horizontal separation distance (GH1) or the second horizontal separation distance (GH2).

[0379] The minimum distance between adjacent third pixels (PX3) in the first direction (DR1) is defined as the third horizontal separation distance (GH3), and the minimum distance between adjacent fourth pixels (PX4) in the first direction (DR1) can be defined as the fourth horizontal separation distance (GH4). The third horizontal separation distance (GH3) and the fourth horizontal separation distance (GH4) may be substantially the same.

[0389] FIG. 37 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a tile-type display device cut along E-E' of FIG. 36.

[0390] Referring to FIG. 37, the first display device (11) includes a first display module (DPM1) and a first front cover (COV1). The second display device (12) includes a second display module (DPM2) and a second front cover (COV2).

[0391] Each of the first display module (DPM1) and the second display module (DPM2) includes a substrate (SUB), a thin-film transistor layer (TFTL), and a light-emitting element layer (EML). The thin-film transistor layer (TFTL) and the light-emitting element layer (EML) have already been described in detail in conjunction with FIGS. 27 and FIGS. 28. In FIGS. 37, descriptions that overlap with the embodiments of FIGS. 27 and FIGS. 28 are omitted.

[0392] A substrate (SUB) may include a first surface (41) on which a thin-film transistor layer (TFTL) is disposed, a second surface (42) facing the first surface, and a first side surface (43) disposed between the first surface (41) and the second surface (42). The first surface (41) may be the front or top surface of the substrate (SUB), and the second surface (42) may be the back or bottom surface of the substrate (SUB).

[0393] Additionally, the substrate (SUB) may further include a chamfer surface (44) disposed between the first surface (41) and the first side (43) and between the second surface (42) and the first side (43). A thin-film transistor layer (TFTL) and a light-emitting element layer (EML) may not be disposed on the chamfer surface (44). Due to the chamfer surface (44), it is prevented that the substrate (SUB) of the first display device (10) and the substrate of the second display device (10) collide and are damaged.

[0394] The chamfer surface (44) may be positioned between each of the other sides excluding the first side (41) and the first side (43), and between each of the other sides excluding the second side (42) and the first side (43). For example, if the first display device (11) and the second display device (12) have a rectangular planar shape as in FIG. 35, the chamfer surface (44) may be positioned between each of the first side (41) and the second side, the third side, and the fourth side, and between each of the second side (42) and the second side, the third side, and the fourth side.

[0395] The first front cover (COV1) can be placed on the chamfered surface (44) of the substrate (SUB). That is, the first front cover (COV1) can protrude beyond the substrate (SUB) in the first direction (DR1) and the second direction (DR2). Therefore, the distance (GSUB) between the substrate (SUB) of the first display device (11) and the substrate (SUB) of the second display device (12) can be greater than the distance (GCOV) between the first front cover (COV1) and the second front cover (COV2).

[0396] Each of the first front cover (COV1) and the second front cover (COV2) may include an adhesive member (51), a light transmittance control layer (52) disposed on the adhesive member (51), and an anti-glare layer (53) disposed on the light transmittance control layer (52).

[0397] The adhesive member (51) of the first front cover (COV1) serves to attach the first front cover (COV1) to the light-emitting element layer (EML) of the first display module (DPM1). The adhesive member (51) of the second front cover (COV2) serves to attach the second front cover (COV2) to the light-emitting element layer (EML) of the second display module (DPM2). The adhesive member (51) may be a transparent adhesive member capable of transmitting light. For example, the adhesive member (51) may be an optically clear adhesive film or an optically clear resin.

[0398] The anti-glare layer (53) can be designed to diffusely reflect external light to prevent the external light from being reflected as is and to prevent a decrease in the visibility of the image. Accordingly, due to the anti-glare layer (53), the contrast ratio of the image displayed by the first display device (10) and the second display device (20) can be increased.

[0399] The light transmittance control layer (52) can be designed to reduce the transmittance of external light or light reflected from the first display module (DPM1) and the second display module (DPM2). As a result, the gap (GSUB) between the substrate (SUB) of the first display module (DPM1) and the substrate (SUB) of the second display module (DPM2) can be prevented from being visible from the outside.

[0400] The anti-glare layer (53) may be implemented as a polarizing plate, and the light transmittance control layer (52) may be implemented as a phase delay layer, but the embodiments of the present specification are not limited thereto.

[0401] Meanwhile, since an example of a tile-type display device (TD) cut along F-F', G-G', and H-H' in FIG. 36 is substantially the same as an example of a tile-type display device (TD) cut along E-E' described in conjunction with FIG. 37, a description thereof is omitted.

[0402] Fig. 38 is an enlarged layout diagram showing the F region of Fig. 35 in detail.

[0403] FIG. 38 shows pads (PADs) placed on the upper side of the first display device (10) and second subpixels (GPs) of the first pixel (PX1).

[0404] Referring to FIG. 38, pads (PADs) may be placed on the upper edge of the first display device (10). When the PWM data lines (DL) of the first display device (10) extend in a second direction (DR2), pads (PADs) may be placed on the upper and lower edges of the first display device (10). Alternatively, when the PWM data lines (DL) of the first display device (10) extend in a first direction (DR1), pads (PADs) may be placed on the left and right edges of the first display device (10).

[0405] Each of the pads (PAD) can be connected to the PWM data line (DL). Additionally, each of the pads (PAD) can be connected to the side line (SSL). The side line (SSL) can be placed on one side and the bottom (or back) of the board (SUB). The side line (SSL) can be connected to the connection line (CCL in FIG. 37) on the bottom of the board (SUB).

[0406] FIG. 39 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a tile-type display device cut along I-I' of FIG. 38. In FIG. 39, descriptions that overlap with the embodiments of FIG. 27 and FIG. 28 are omitted.

[0407] Referring to FIG. 39, a pad (PAD) may be placed on a first insulating film (161). The pad (PAD) may be exposed without being covered by the second insulating film (181) and the third insulating film (191). Although the pad (PAD) is exemplified as being contained in the second data metal layer, embodiments of this specification are not limited thereto. For example, the pad (PAD) may be contained in the third data metal layer. The pad (PAD) may be connected to a PWM data wiring (DL) through a first side pad contact hole (SCT1) that penetrates the first flattening film (160) and the first insulating film (161).

[0408] The connecting wiring (CCL) may be disposed on the lower surface of the substrate (SUB). The connecting wiring (CCL) may be a single layer or a multilayer composed of any one of molybdenum (Mo), aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr), gold (Au), titanium (Ti), nickel (Ni), neodymium (Nd), and copper (Cu), or an alloy thereof.

[0409] The third flattening film (170) may be placed on a part of the connecting wiring (CCL). The third flattening film (170) may be formed from an organic film such as an acrylic resin, an epoxy resin, a phenolic resin, a polyamide resin, or a polyimide resin.

[0410] The fourth insulating film (171) may be disposed on the third planarization film (170). The fourth insulating film (171) may be formed of an inorganic film, for example, a silicon nitride layer, a silicon oxynitride layer, a silicon oxide layer, a titanium oxide layer, or an aluminum oxide layer.

[0411] Side wiring (SSL) can be placed on the lower edge, side, and upper edge of the substrate (SUB). One end of the side wiring (SSL) can be connected to the connecting wiring (CCL). One end of the side wiring (SSL) can be in contact with the side and lower surface of the connecting wiring (CCL). The other end of the side wiring (SSL) can be connected to the pad portion (PAD). The other end of the side wiring (SSL) can be connected to the pad portion (PAD) through a second side pad contact hole (SCT2) that penetrates the second insulating film (181) and the third insulating film (191).

[0412] Side wiring (SSL) can be placed on the side of the substrate (SUB), the side of the buffer film (BF), the side of the gate insulating film (130), the side of the first interlayer insulating film (141), the side of the second interlayer insulating film (142), the side of the first insulating film (161), the side of the second insulating film (181), and the side of the third insulating film (191).

[0413] A flexible film (FPCB) may be disposed on the lower surface of the fourth insulating film (171). The flexible film (FPCB) may be connected to a connecting wire (CCL) through a back contact hole (BCT) penetrating the third planarization film (170) and the third insulating film (171) using a conductive adhesive member (CAM). A source driving circuit (SIC) for supplying data voltages to PWM data wires (DL) may be disposed on the lower surface of the flexible film (FPCB). The conductive adhesive member (CAM) may be an anisotropic conductive film or anisotropic conductive paste.

[0414] As shown in FIGS. 38 and 39, the source driving circuit (SIC) of the flexible film (FPCB) of the first display device (11) placed on the lower part of the substrate (SUB) can be connected to the data wiring (DL) through the connection wiring (CCL), side wiring (SSL), and pad (PAD). That is, since the source driving circuit (SIC) is placed on the substrate (SUB), the non-display area (NDA) can be eliminated, so pixels (PX) can be formed even on the edges of the substrate (SUB).

[0415] FIG. 40 is a block diagram showing a tile-type display device according to one embodiment.

[0416] In FIG. 40, the first display device (11) and the host system (HOST) are illustrated for convenience of explanation.

The separated video signal, audio signal, and additional data are restored by a video decoder (222), an audio decoder (224), and an additional data processing unit (225), respectively. At this time, the video decoder (222), the audio decoder (224), and the additional data processing unit (225) restore the data into a decoding format corresponding to the encoding format used during broadcast signal transmission.
