[0160] Referring to FIGS. 6A and 6B , an electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments may display an image by combining a display (530) and a lens. In this configuration, pincushion distortion, in which the peripheral portion of the display screen is elongated, may occur, as illustrated in FIGS. 6A and 6B . In one or more embodiments, when a thin pancake lens is used, pincushion distortion may be relatively large.

[0161] An electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments may use an image in which the peripheral portion is relatively reduced compared to the central portion to compensate for pincushion distortion.

Since oxide transistors have a characteristic of relatively lower leakage current than silicon transistors, when implementing transistors using oxide transistors, there is an effect of reducing image quality defects such as flicker by preventing current from leaking from the gate electrode of the first switching transistor (T1). In one or more embodiments, the P-type transistor can be selected from, for example, GaN, AlN, AlGaN, InGaN, InN, InAlGaN, AlInN, etc., and can be doped with a p-type dopant such as Mg, Zn, Ca, Sr, Ba, etc. In one or more embodiments, the N-type transistor can be selected from, for example, GaN, AlN, AlGaN, InGaN, InN, InAlGaN, AlInN, etc., and can be doped with an n-type dopant such as Si, Ge, Sn, etc.

For example, the high-potential driving voltage (ELVDD) may have a value of about 2 V to about 3 V. In one or more embodiments, the third switching transistor (T3) may be formed of an N-type MOS transistor to form an oxide transistor. Since an N-type MOS transistor uses electrons, rather than holes, as carriers, its mobility is faster than that of a P-type MOS transistor, and thus its switching speed can also be faster.

For example, the initialization voltage (VINI) can have a value between -6 V and -4 V, the bias voltage (VOBS) can have a value between 5 V and 7 V, and the leakage suppression voltage (VLS) can have a value between 2 V and 5 V.

[0176] In one or more embodiments, the third scan signal (Scanb[n-7]) for applying the stabilization voltage (Initial1) and the fourth scan signal (Scan[n+1]) for controlling the supply of the reset voltage (Initial2) to the anode electrode of the light emitting element (700) may have different phases so that the driving operation of the first switching transistor (T1) and the resetting operation of the anode electrode of the light emitting element (700) can be performed separately. At this time, when the switching transistors (T4, T7) supplying the stabilization voltage (Initial1) and the reset voltage (Initial2) are turned on, the sixth switching transistor (T6) connecting the source electrode of the first switching transistor (T1) and the anode electrode of the light-emitting element (700) is turned off, thereby blocking the driving current of the first switching transistor (T1) from flowing to the anode electrode of the light-emitting element (700), and configuring the subpixel so that the anode electrode is not affected by any voltage other than the reset voltage (Initial2).

[0177] In this way, a subpixel composed of seven transistors (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7) and one capacitor (Cst) can be called a 7T1C structure. Here, the 7T1C structure is shown as an example among the circuits of subpixels with various structures, and the structure and number of transistors and capacitors constituting the subpixel may vary. Meanwhile, each of the multiple subpixels may have the same structure, and some of the multiple subpixels may have different structures.

[0178] In one or more embodiments, an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101), the processor (510), or the display driving circuit (537) of FIG. 5) may utilize a driving method that drives the light-emitting elements (700) of the subpixels in the following order. For example, the display may be an OLED using an oxide thin film transistor (TFT). For example, a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) manufacturing technology may be utilized.

[0179] In one or more embodiments, the electronic device (101) can turn on the fifth switching transistor (T5) and the sixth switching transistor (T6), as illustrated in FIG. 7A, and emit a current determined by the first switching transistor (T1) to flow to the light emitting element (700) as a high-potential driving voltage (ELVDD) is applied. In one or more embodiments, the electronic device (101) can turn off the third switching transistor (T3).

[0180] In one or more embodiments, the electronic device (101) can turn on the fourth switching transistor (T4) and initialize the voltage of the first switching transistor (T1) and the light-emitting element (700), as illustrated in FIG. 7b.

[0181] In one or more embodiments, the electronic device (101) can store the data voltage (Data) in the storage capacitor (Cst) by turning off the fourth switching transistor (T4) and turning on the second switching transistor (T2) and the third switching transistor (T3), as illustrated in FIG. 7C. Here, the time for applying the data voltage (Data) can be limited so as not to overlap with adjacent pixels. For example, assuming a vertical resolution of 3000 or more and a screen refresh rate of 60 [Hz], the time for applying the data voltage (Data) can be limited to less than 5 [μs]. In one or more embodiments, the electronic device (101) can write data and compensate for the voltage (ΔVt compensation).

[0182] In one or more embodiments, the electronic device (101) can discharge the anode of the light emitting element (700) by turning off the second switching transistor (T2), turning on the third switching transistor (T3), and briefly turning on the seventh switching transistor (T7), as illustrated in FIG. 7d. In one or more embodiments, the electronic device (101) can compensate for the voltage (ΔVt compensation) and discharge the light emitting element (700) (OLED discharging).

[0183] In one or more embodiments, the electronic device (101) can continuously discharge the voltage (Vt) while continuously turning on the third switching transistor (T3), as illustrated in FIG. 7e. In one or more embodiments, the electronic device (101) can compensate (ΔVt compensation) for a state in which the current of the first switching transistor (T1) is sufficiently low.

[0184] In one or more embodiments, the electronic device (101) may perform the operation of FIG. 7A after the operation of FIG. 7E. In one or more embodiments, the electronic device (101) may sequentially repeat the operations illustrated in FIGS. 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, and 7E.

[0185] The light emitting element (700) corresponding to the subpixel may be connected to one main gate line or one main source line, so that movement between pixels may be limited to integer units (1, 2, 3, …). This may make it difficult to expect the benefit of applying a technology that makes it appear as if the display has a higher resolution than the physical resolution.

[0186] An electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments may perform a Wobulation function that projects multiple images using a high operating frequency to increase the resolution of the images perceived by the user. For example, in the case of the Wobulation function, if the images are projected by moving them by one pixel, the pixel size may become too large, resulting in a blur or stair-step phenomenon. To prevent this, since the pixel pitch cannot be reduced indefinitely, a display structure capable of displaying higher resolution at the same resolution may be required.

[0187] An electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments may further include a first switching circuit (581) and a second switching circuit (583), as illustrated in FIG. 8. An electronic device (101) according to one or more embodiments may implement a Wobulation function by moving and projecting in units smaller than 1 pixel (e.g., 1 / 2 pixel) through a switching operation of the first switching circuit (581) and / or the second switching circuit (583).

[0188] In one or more embodiments, a pixel including a subpixel corresponding to a light-emitting element (700) may be connected to a first main gate line (571) that is electrically connected via a first switching circuit (581). In one or more embodiments, the first switching circuit (581) may be connected to a subpixel included in a pixel adjacent to the pixel including the subpixel corresponding to the light-emitting element (700). In one or more embodiments, the first switching circuit (581) may selectively connect the first main gate line (571) to the light-emitting element (700) or to an adjacent subpixel.

[0189] In one or more embodiments, a pixel including a light-emitting element (700) may be connected to a first main source line (575) that is electrically connected via a second switching circuit (583). In one or more embodiments, the second switching circuit (583) may be connected to a subpixel included in a pixel adjacent to the pixel including the light-emitting element (700). In one or more embodiments, the second switching circuit (583) may selectively connect the first main source line (575) to the light-emitting element (700) or to an adjacent subpixel.

For example, the display panel (535) may have an RGBW structure composed of a white subpixel, a red subpixel, a green subpixel, and / or a blue subpixel.

[0196] In one or more embodiments, the plurality of subpixels (R1, G1a, G1b, B1, R2, G2a, G2b, B2, R3, G3a, G3b, B3, R4, G4a, G4b, B4) in each pixel (540, 550, 560, 590) may be arranged in a first direction or a second direction.

[0198] For example, the first red subpixel (R1) and the first green subpixel b (G1b) included in the first pixel (540) may be arranged in a first direction with the first green subpixel a (G1a) and the first blue subpixel (B1), and the first red subpixel (R1) and the first green subpixel b (G1b) may be connected to a first sub-source line (Sub Source Line #0), respectively, and the first green subpixel a (G1a) and the first blue subpixel (B1) may be connected to a second sub-source line (Sub Source Line #1), respectively.

[0200] In one or more embodiments, the first main source line (Main Source Line #0) may be permanently connected to the second sub source line (Sub Source Line #1).

[0201] In one or more embodiments, in each pixel (540, 550, 560, 590), a plurality of subpixels (R1, G1a, G1b, B1, R2, G2a, G2b, B2, R3, G3a, G3b, B3, R4, G4a, G4b, B4) may be arranged in a second direction, and a first sub-gate line (Sub Gate Line #0) and a second sub-gate line (Sub Gate Line #1) extending in the first direction may be arranged in the second direction.

[0208] In one or more embodiments, the first sub-gate line (Sub Gate Line #0) and the second sub-gate line (Sub Gate Line #1) may extend in a first direction (e.g., horizontal direction) and may be arranged in a second direction (e.g., vertical direction) to correspond to a first row and a second row of first pixels (540) included in the display panel (535), respectively. In one or more embodiments, the first sub-gate line (Sub Gate Line #0) and the second sub-gate line (Sub Gate Line #1) may be connected to sub-pixels (R1, G1a) of a first row and sub-pixels (G1b, B1) of a second row included in the first pixel (540), respectively.

[0209] In one or more embodiments, the first sub-gate line (Sub Gate Line #0) and the second sub-gate line (Sub Gate Line #1) may also correspond to the first row and the second row, respectively, corresponding to the third pixel (560) arranged in the first direction (e.g., horizontal direction) of the first pixel (540).

[0210] According to one or more embodiments, the second main gate line (Main Gate Line #1) may be permanently connected to the fourth sub gate line (Sub Gate Line #3). According to one or more embodiments, the second main gate line (Main Gate Line #1) may be connected to the third sub gate line (Sub Gate Line #2) and the fifth sub gate line (Sub Gate Line #4) via the first switch-b (1020). In one or more embodiments, the first switch-b (1020) may selectively connect the second main gate line (Main Gate Line #1) to the third sub gate line (Sub Gate Line #2) or the fifth sub gate line (Sub Gate Line #4).

[0211] In one or more embodiments, the third sub-gate line (Sub Gate Line #2) and the fourth sub-gate line (Sub Gate Line #3) may correspond to the third row and the fourth row, respectively, corresponding to the second pixel (550) arranged in the second direction (e.g., vertical direction) of the first pixel (540).

[0212] In one or more embodiments, the third main gate line (Main Gate Line #2) may be connected to the sixth sub-gate line corresponding to the sixth row, while being permanently connected to the fifth sub-gate line (Sub Gate Line #4) corresponding to the fifth row and the seventh sub-gate line corresponding to the sixth row through the first switch-c (1030).

[0213] In one or more embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 11a, the first switch-a (1010) can selectively connect the first main gate line (Main Gate Line #0) to the first sub gate line (Sub Gate Line #0) in a low state. In one or more embodiments, the first switch-b (1020) can selectively connect the second main gate line (Main Gate Line #1) to the third sub gate line (Sub Gate Line #2) in a low state. In one or more embodiments, the first switch-c (1030) can selectively connect the third main gate line (Main Gate Line #2) to the fifth sub gate line (Sub Gate Line #4) in a low state. For example, although the first switch-a (1010), the first switch-b (1020), and the first switch-c (1030) have been described as operating in the same state simultaneously, they may also operate individually or in different states.

[0214] In one or more embodiments, the first switch-a (1010) can drive subpixels (R1, G1a, R3, G3a) corresponding to a first row of the display panel (535) and subpixels (G1b, B1, G3b, B3) corresponding to a second row by selectively connecting a first main gate line (Main Gate Line #0) to a first sub gate line (Sub Gate Line #0) and a second sub gate line (Sub Gate Line #1) in a low state.

[0215] In one or more embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 11b, the first switch-a (1010) can selectively connect the first main gate line (Main Gate Line #0) to the third sub-gate line (Sub Gate Line #2) in a high state. In one or more embodiments, the first switch-b (1020) can selectively connect the second main gate line (Main Gate Line #1) to the fifth sub-gate line (Sub Gate Line #4) in a high state. In one or more embodiments, the first switch-c (1030) can selectively connect the third main gate line (Main Gate Line #2) to the seventh sub-gate line in a high state. For example, although the first switch-a (1010), the first switch-b (1020), and the first switch-c (1030) have been described as operating in the same state simultaneously, they may also operate individually or in different states.

[0216] In one or more embodiments, the first switch-a (1010) can drive the subpixels (G1b, B1, G3b, B3) corresponding to the second row of the display panel (535) and the subpixels (R2, G2a, R4, G4a) corresponding to the third row by selectively connecting the first main gate line (Main Gate Line #0) to the second sub gate line (Sub Gate Line #1) and the third sub gate line (Sub Gate Line #2) in a high state. In one or more embodiments, the first switch-b (1020) can drive the subpixels (G2b, B2, G4b, B4) corresponding to the fourth row of the display panel (535) and the subpixels (G4) corresponding to the fifth row by selectively connecting the second main gate line (Main Gate Line #1) to the fourth sub gate line (Sub Gate Line #3) and the fifth sub gate line (Sub Gate Line #4) in a high state.

[0217] As illustrated in (a) of FIG. 11c, in one or more embodiments, the first pixel (540), the second pixel (550), the third pixel (560), and the fourth pixel (590) can be driven at designated positions when the first switch-a (e.g., the first switch-a (1010) of FIG. 11a and FIG. 11b) and the first switch-b (e.g., the first switch-b (1020) of FIG. 11a and FIG. 11b) are in a low state. As illustrated in (b) of FIG. 11c, in one or more embodiments, when the first switch-a (1010) and the first switch-b (1020) are in a high state, some of the sub-pixels included in the pixels adjacent to the first pixel (540), the second pixel (550), the third pixel (560) and the fourth pixel (590) in the second direction (e.g., vertical direction) can be driven by moving by 1 / 2 pixel in the second direction (e.g., vertical direction).

[0218] In one or more embodiments, the display driving circuit (e.g., the display driving circuit (537) of FIG. 5) may control the first switch-a (1010) to connect the first main gate line (Main Gate Line #0) to a first subpixel (e.g., the first subpixel (545) of FIG. 5 or the first red subpixel (R1) of FIG. 9) included in a first pixel (540) and then to connect the first main gate line (Main Gate Line #0) to a second subpixel (e.g., the second subpixel (555) of FIG. 5 or the second red subpixel (R2) of FIG. 9) included in a second pixel (550). Accordingly, the first pixel (540) may be driven by moving 1 / 2 pixel in the second direction (e.g., the vertical direction).

[0219] In one or more embodiments, the display driving circuit (537) can repeat the movement of 1 / 2 pixel by repeating the low state and high state of the first switch (1010, 1020, 1030). In one or more embodiments, the display driving circuit (537) can drive the pixels by controlling the first switch (1010, 1020, 1030) to move and drive the pixels, thereby driving the pixels with different pixel data. In one or more embodiments, the display driving circuit (537) can drive the first subpixel (R1) included in the first pixel (540) based on the first pixel data, and drive the second subpixel (R2) included in the second pixel (550) based on second pixel data that is different from the first pixel data. Accordingly, the display driving circuit (537) can implement the Wobulation function by driving the pixel data while moving in units smaller than 1 pixel.

[0220] In one or more embodiments, the display driving circuit (537) may control the operation of the first switch (1010, 1020, 1030) at a frequency corresponding to twice the screen refresh rate of the display panel (535) when driving the pixels while moving in the second direction.

[0221] Here, although an embodiment in which subpixels included in one pixel are configured in two rows is illustrated, the present invention may also be applied to a pixel in which subpixels are configured in three or more rows. For example, in the case of an embodiment in which the subpixels are configured in three rows, there may be four sub-gate lines connected to the main gate line (e.g., three sub-gate lines of the corresponding pixel + one sub-gate line of the adjacent pixel), and the switching operation of the switch may move the sub-gate lines by 1 / 3 of a pixel and be driven.

[0222] FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a second switching circuit (583) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 13a is a control state diagram illustrating a low state of the second switching circuit (583) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 13b is a control state diagram illustrating a high state of the second switching circuit (583) according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 13c illustrates a driving state of a pixel according to a switching operation of the second switch according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0223] Referring to FIGS. 12, 13a, 13b, and 13c, a second switching circuit (583) according to one or more embodiments may include a first main source line (Main Source Line #0) connected to a first sub-source line (Sub Source Line #0), a second sub-source line (Sub Source Line #1), and a third sub-source line (Sub Source Line #2). The first main source line (Main Source Line #0) according to one or more embodiments may be permanently connected to the second sub-source line (Sub Source Line #1).

For example, although the second switch-a (1210), the second switch-b (1220), and the second switch-c (1230) have been described as operating in the same state simultaneously, they may also operate individually or in different states.

[0232] In one or more embodiments, the second switch-a (1210) can drive the subpixels (G1a, B1, G2a, B2) corresponding to the second column of the display panel (535) and the subpixels (R3, G3b, R4, G4b) corresponding to the third column by selectively connecting the first main source line (Main Source Line #0) to the second sub source line (Sub Source Line #1) and the third sub source line (Sub Source Line #2) in a high state.

[0233] As illustrated in (a) of FIG. 13c, in one or more embodiments, the subpixels included in the first pixel (540), the second pixel (550), and the third pixel (560) can be driven at designated positions when the second switch-a (e.g., the second switch-a (1210) of FIGS. 13a and 13b) and the second switch-b (e.g., the second switch-b (1220) of FIGS. 13a and 13b) are in a low state. As illustrated in (b) of FIG. 13c, in one or more embodiments, when the second switch-a (1210) and the second switch-b (1220) are in a high state, the first pixel (540), the second pixel (550), the third pixel (560) and the fourth pixel (590) can be driven by moving 1 / 2 pixel in the first direction (e.g., in the horizontal direction) by driving some of the subpixels included in the adjacent pixels in the first direction (e.g., in the horizontal direction).

[0234] In one or more embodiments, the display driving circuit (537) may control the second switch-a (1210) to connect the first main source line (Main Source Line #0) to the first subpixel (R1) included in the first pixel (540), and then to connect the first main source line (Main Source Line #0) to the third subpixel (565 of FIG. 5 or the third red subpixel (R3) of FIG. 9) included in the third pixel (560).

[0235] In one or more embodiments, the display driving circuit (537) can repeat the movement of 1 / 2 pixel by repeating the low state and high state of the second switch (1210, 1220, 1230). In one or more embodiments, the display driving circuit (537) can drive the pixels with different pixel data by moving and driving the pixels by controlling the second switch. In one or more embodiments, the display driving circuit (537) can drive the first subpixel (R1) included in the first pixel (540) based on the first pixel data, and can drive the third subpixel (R3) included in the third pixel (560) based on the second pixel data that is different from the first pixel data.

[0236] In one or more embodiments, the display driving circuit (537) may control the operation of the second switch at a frequency corresponding to twice the screen refresh rate of the display panel (535) when driving the pixel while moving in the first direction.

[0237] Here, although an embodiment in which subpixels included in one pixel are organized into two columns is illustrated, the present invention may also be applied to a pixel in which subpixels are organized into three or more columns. For example, in the case of an embodiment in which the subpixels are organized into three columns, there may be four sub-source lines connected to a main source line (e.g., three sub-source lines of the corresponding pixel + one sub-source line of the adjacent pixel), and the switching operation of the switch may move the sub-source lines by 1 / 3 of a pixel and be driven.
