1Productivity
If conventional capacitor configuration is used in pixel circuits, then device complexity is reduced, but driving speed and resolution performance deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The pixel circuit is divided into multiple independent transistor units (first transistor, second transistor, third transistor, fourth transistor, fifth transistor, sixth transistor) with separate gate control. Each transistor is configured with specific gate electrodes (first gate electrode, second gate electrode, third gate electrode, fourth gate electrode, fifth gate electrode, sixth gate electrode) that can be independently controlled, enabling parallel processing of compensation and data writing operations simultaneously, thus improving driving speed without excessive complexity increase.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple gate electrodes are stacked in a vertical arrangement above the semiconductor layer, creating a three-dimensional transistor configuration. This vertical stacking allows multiple control signals to be applied from different dimensions, enabling sophisticated pixel operations (compensation, data writing, emission control) to be performed concurrently, thereby achieving fast driving capability while maintaining manageable device complexity.
2Manufacturing precision
If high resolution is achieved, then display quality is improved, but pixel circuit performance and driving speed deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The pixel circuit is segmented into multiple specialized transistor units, each responsible for specific functions (compensation, data writing, emission control). This functional segmentation allows the pixel circuit to handle high-resolution data processing efficiently by distributing operations across multiple parallel pathways, preventing performance degradation despite increased resolution requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The multi-gate transistor configuration provides universal functionality within each pixel, where the same transistor structure can perform compensation, data writing, and emission control operations by applying different control signals to different gate electrodes. This multi-functionality ensures that pixel circuit performance is maintained across various operational modes, enabling fast driving capability even at high resolutions.
