1Reliability

If a light emission control circuit is used to control pixels to emit light, then the display function is achieved, but the stability and accuracy of the light emission control signal may be insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The light emission control circuit is divided into multiple functional modules: a first control module for controlling the potential of a first node, a second control module for controlling the potential of a second node, and an output module for generating the light emission control signal. This segmentation allows each module to independently optimize its function, improving both signal stability and accuracy without increasing overall system complexity.

Solution Approach 1:

The first control module and second control module are integrated within a single light emission control circuit, sharing common structural elements and control mechanisms. This merging approach allows the circuit to achieve stable node potential control while avoiding the complexity of completely separate control systems, as the modules work cooperatively within a unified architecture.
