Reflective Member Reflects Dummy Pixel Light to Transistor

The patent applies preliminary action by introducing a dummy pixel that emits light with a wavelength shorter than blue light before the main pixel operates. This pre-irradiation with high-energy light modifies the transistor characteristics in advance, creating a more stable baseline that resists degradation during subsequent operation. The dummy pixel is driven for a predetermined period before the main pixel activation, preparing the transistor for reliable long-term operation.

The patent utilizes parameter changes by exposing the transistor to light with a wavelength shorter than blue light (higher energy photons). This changes the physical state or characteristics of the transistor, such as modifying the semiconductor layer properties or interface characteristics, thereby improving its electrical characteristics and stability over time. The wavelength parameter of incident light is specifically controlled to achieve the desired effect.

The reflective member serves multiple functions: it reflects light from the dummy pixel to the main pixel's transistor, acts as part of the optical path structure, and can be integrated with existing device layers. By making this single component perform multiple roles, the patent reduces the need for additional separate elements, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while achieving the desired transistor characteristic improvement.

The reflective member acts as an intermediary element that facilitates the transfer of light energy from the dummy pixel to the main pixel's transistor. Rather than requiring direct physical contact or complex coupling mechanisms between the dummy pixel and the transistor, the reflective member mediates this interaction through optical reflection, simplifying the overall structure while achieving the intended effect.
