Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic control of light emission duration for different colored LEDs through separate control modules. The first light-emitting control module controls the first light-emitting device, while the second light-emitting control module controls the second light-emitting device. This allows the light emission duration to be dynamically adjusted based on the luminous efficiency characteristics of each color, compensating for efficiency differences and maintaining stable display performance at high temperatures.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different control strategies to different light-emitting devices based on their specific color and luminous efficiency characteristics. By providing separate control modules for different colored LEDs, the system tailors the light emission duration to the local requirements of each device, thereby compensating for variations in luminous efficiency across different colors while maintaining overall display quality.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the pixel circuit into distinct control modules for different light-emitting devices. The first pixel circuit includes a first light-emitting control module, while the second pixel circuit includes a second light-emitting control module. This segmentation allows independent control of light emission duration for each color, enabling compensation for luminous efficiency differences while maintaining a standardized overall pixel circuit architecture that facilitates manufacturing.

AI summary

Display panel and display apparatus are provided. Display panel includes pixel circuits and light-emitting devices. Pixel circuits includes drive transistor, first light-emitting control module, and second light-emitting control module. One of first light-emitting control module and second light-emitting control module is connected between first power terminal and first electrode of drive transistor, the other is connected between second electrode of drive transistor and light-emitting device. At least one of first light-emitting control module and second light-emitting control module in first pixel circuit is connected to drive transistor through bridge line. At least one of first light-emitting control module and second light-emitting control module in second pixel circuit is directly connected to drive transistor. By reasonably arranging two light-emitting control modules in pixel circuits, the disclosure can make light-emitting control modules in two pixel circuits receive control signal in different manners, and meet requirements on line connection in pixel circuits.
