It should be understood that the present embodiment does not limit the number of sub-light-emitting circuits 10 included in the light-emitting circuit 1, and the number of sub-light-emitting circuits 10 may be flexibly set by a person concerned, and preferably the number of sub-light-emitting circuits 10 is 2, that is, two sub-light-emitting circuits 10 are included in the light-emitting circuit 1; meanwhile, the light emitting circuits 1 are connected to the anode of the display unit 3, that is, the respective sub light emitting circuits 10 are connected to the anode of the display unit 3, respectively; it will be appreciated that at the same time, the display unit 3 is powered by only one sub-light-emitting circuit 10, for example, the light-emitting circuit 1 includes A, B two sub-light-emitting circuits 10, and when the display unit 3 is required to emit light, the display unit 3 is driven to emit light by a or B.
In some examples of this embodiment, the control circuit 2 is connected to the anode of the display unit 3 to detect the current through the display unit 3; in some examples, the control circuit 2 may be connected to the cathode of the display unit 3 to detect the current through the display unit 3.
In some examples of the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, each of the sub-light emitting circuits 10 is provided with a first thin film transistor 11, and a control terminal of the first thin film transistor 11 is connected to the control circuit 2, and is configured to turn on or off the sub-light emitting circuit 10 according to a control signal transmitted by the control circuit 2, so as to switch the sub-light emitting circuit 10 that supplies power to the display unit 3; it should be understood that the first terminal of the first thin film transistor 11 is connected to the power voltage Vdd, the second terminal of the second thin film transistor 12 is connected to the anode of the display unit 3, and the first thin film transistor 11 is turned on from the first terminal to the second terminal, so that when the first thin film transistor 11 is turned on, a current is transmitted to the anode of the display unit 3.
It can be understood that if the first thin film transistor 11 of the same sub-light emitting circuit 10 is operated for a long time, the characteristics of the first thin film transistor 11 are changed, resulting in an increase of the current passing through the display unit 3; for example, when the display unit 3 is driven by continuously supplying power to the display unit 3 through a certain sub-light-emitting circuit 10 for a long time, the first thin film transistor 11 of the certain sub-light-emitting circuit 10 continuously works for a long time, so that the temperature of the first thin film transistor 11 is increased, the threshold voltage of the first thin film transistor 11 is reduced, the current leakage current is increased, the current transmitted by the sub-light-emitting circuit 10 is increased, the current passing through the display unit 3 is in an unstable state, the display unit 3 is unstable, the display effect is affected, and meanwhile, the current passing through the display unit 3 is increased, and the service life of the display unit 3 is affected; at this time, the control circuit 2 detects the current passing through the display unit 3, and when the current passing through the display unit 3 exceeds a threshold value, the control circuit 2 switches the sub-light emitting circuits 10 supplying power to the display unit 3, and since only one sub-light emitting circuit 10 supplies power to the display unit 3 at the same time, the switched sub-light emitting circuits 10 are necessarily in a normal state (the threshold voltage of the first thin film transistor 11 of the switched sub-light emitting circuit 10 does not change), so that when the power is supplied to the display unit 3 through the switched sub-light emitting circuits 10, the current passing through the display unit 3 is constant, the stability of the current passing through the display unit 3 is ensured, the display of the display unit 3 is stable, and the display effect is improved.

It should be understood that the comparator 22 is configured to detect the voltage across the ground resistor 21 at one end of the display unit 3, and then compare the voltage with the reference voltage Vref, and when the voltage across the ground resistor 21 exceeds the reference voltage Vref, it indicates that the current passing through the display unit 3 exceeds the threshold value, at which time the comparator 22 outputs a first comparison signal to control the trigger 23 to trigger switching of the sub-light emitting circuit 10 that supplies power to the display unit 3; when the voltage of the resistor 21 to ground is not higher than the reference voltage Vref, it indicates that the current passing through the display unit 3 does not exceed the threshold value, and at this time, the comparator 22 outputs a second comparison signal, and the trigger 23 does not trigger to switch the sub-light emitting circuit 10 that supplies power to the display unit 3; it is understood that the first comparison signal is a high level signal and the second comparison signal is a low level signal.

When the voltage detected by the comparator 22 exceeds the reference voltage Vref, the comparator 22 outputs a high level signal as a first comparison signal, the T flip-flop 23 is input, the T flip-flop 23T is connected to the operating voltage Vd, and the operating voltage Vd is a high level voltage, so that the T flip-flop 23 outputs a high level signal all the time, and when the clock signal terminal receives a high level pulse (first comparison signal), the T flip-flop 23 triggers the output terminal 230 of the switching output terminal 230 to output a signal to switch the sub-light emitting circuit 10 to which the display unit 3 is driven. The working principle of the T trigger 23 is as follows: when t=1, the output changes state once every time a high level is received.
So that the two sub-lighting circuits 10 will exchange states whenever the control point bank receives a large current. Since it is generated by one trigger 23, the time to switch states between the two sub-driving point banks is extremely short. The driving is exchanged in this way, so that the display unit 3 is ensured to be always in a normal operating state. Specifically, at the first moment, the T flip-flop 23 outputs the working voltage Vd accessed by the signal input terminal T as a control signal through the first output terminal Q, so as to conduct the sub-light emitting circuit 10 connected to the first output terminal Q to supply power to the display unit 3; at the second moment, when the T flip-flop 23 receives the first comparison signal transmitted by the comparator 22, the T flip-flop 23 triggers switching to the second output terminal Q not to output the working voltage Vd accessed by the signal input terminal T as a control signal through the second output terminal Q, so as to conduct the sub-light emitting circuit 10 with the second output terminal Q not connected to supply power to the display unit 3, thereby realizing switching of the sub-light emitting circuit 10 supplying power to the display unit 3.
