Solution Approach 1:

The pixel is segmented into multiple functional regions with separate light-emitting diodes (first LED, second LED, third LED) each controlled by dedicated transistors (first transistor, second transistor, third transistor). This segmentation allows independent control of different color channels or display zones, enabling high-color-gamut display and flexible display modes while maintaining manufacturing precision through modular architecture

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a fourth conductive layer to provide constant potential supply, adding a new dimensional layer to the pixel structure. This fourth layer works in conjunction with the first through third conductive layers to establish multiple electrical potential planes, enabling complex electrical control schemes without increasing the physical footprint of the pixel, thus improving display quality without proportionally increasing device complexity
