Driver 112 is combined with the end of circuit 108,110A and 110B, and as shown in Figure 1, and it comprises drive circuit 114.
This drive circuit 114 drives pixel 104.
Fig. 2 A is the schematic diagram that the Circuits System of light-emitting device shown in Figure 1 is shown.Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2 C illustrate the schematic diagram that is used to drive the processing procedure of light-emitting device shown in Fig. 2 A.
In Fig. 2 A, light-emitting device comprises pixel E11 to E64 and driver 112.
Driver 112 comprises: controller 200, first scan drive circuit 202, second scan drive circuit 204 and data drive circuit 206.At this, data wire D1 to D6 is corresponding to a plurality of anode layers 100 and a plurality of anode line 108, and scan line S1 to S4 is corresponding to a plurality of cathode layers 102 and many cathode line 110A and 110B.
Utilization is from the video data of external equipment (not shown) input, controller 200 gated sweep drive circuits 202 and 204 and data drive circuit 206.
First scan drive circuit 202 is sent to some scan line among the scan line S1 to S4 with first sweep signal, for example, and S1 and S3.Second scan drive circuit 204 is sent to other scan lines S2 and S4 with second sweep signal.Therefore, scan line S1 to S4 order ground connection is as described below.
Data drive circuit 206 has a plurality of current source CS1 to CS6, and will be corresponding to video data, deliver to data wire D1 to D6 from the data current of current source CS1 to CS6 output.Therefore, pixel E11 to E64 is luminous.
After this, will be with reference to the processing procedure of figure 2A to Fig. 2 C explanation driven for emitting lights device.
At first, shown in Fig. 2 B, the first scan line S1 ground connection of scan line S1 to S4, and other scan lines S2 to S4 is connected to the non-light emitting source that voltage is V1, wherein voltage V1 has identical amplitude with the driving voltage Vc of light-emitting device.
Then, will deliver to data wire D1 to D6 corresponding to the data current I11 to I61 of first video data.In this case, by data wire D1 to D6, pixel E11 to E61 and the first scan line S1, this data current I11 to I61 is sent to ground.Therefore, relevant with first scan line S1 pixel E11 to E61 is luminous.
Then, shown in Fig. 2 C, the second scan line S2 ground connection, and other scan lines S1, S3 and S4 are connected to non-light emitting source.
Subsequently, will be after first video data be input to controller 200, deliver to data wire D1 to D6 corresponding to the data current I12 to I62 of second video data that is input to controller 200.In this case, by data wire D1 to D6, pixel E12 to E62 and the second scan line S2, this data current I12 to I62 is sent to ground.Therefore, luminous corresponding to the pixel E12 to E62 of the second scan line S2.
Utilize said method, luminous corresponding to the pixel E13 to E63 of three scan line S3, then, luminous corresponding to the pixel E14 to E64 of the 4th scan line S4.Subsequently, be unit with scan line S1 to S4, repeat above-mentioned processing procedure luminous in pixel E11 to E64.
After this, by the luminance difference between pixel E11 and the E12, describe the processing procedure that drives pixel E11 to E64 in detail.
At first, resistance between each pixel E11 to E64 and the ground is described.
As shown in Figure 1, on whole zone, each cathode layer 102 all has constant width.Therefore, on a cathode layer, the resistance between the pixel E11 to E64 has identical resistance.Therefore, the resistance between pixel E11 and the ground is Rs, and the resistance between pixel E21 and the ground is Rs+Rp, and the resistance between pixel E31 and the ground is Rs+2Rp.In addition, the resistance between pixel E41 and the ground is Rs+3Rp, and the resistance between pixel E51 and the ground is Rs+4Rp, and the resistance between pixel E61 and the ground is Rs+5Rp.
After this, suppose and deliver to data wire D1 to D6, so that pixel E11 to E61 has same brightness having onesize data current I11 to I61.
By the respective pixel E11 to E61 and the first scan line S1, data current I11 to I61 is sent to ground.In this case, because data current I11 to I61 has same size, so the cathode voltage VC11 to VC61 of pixel E11 to E61 is directly proportional with resistance between respective pixel and the ground.Therefore, cathode voltage is followed successively by from high to low: VC61, VC51, VC41, VC31, VC21 and VC11.At this, the brightness of pixel E11 to E61 is subjected to the influence of the cathode voltage VC11 to VC61 of pixel E11 to E61.Usually, when onesize data current was delivered to pixel E11 to E61, cathode voltage VC11 to VC61 was high more, and then the brightness of pixel is low more.Therefore, when onesize data current is delivered to pixel E11 to E61, send the light of maximum brightness with pixel E11 corresponding to the minimum resistance in each resistance of pixel E11 to E61.Yet the pixel E61 relevant with the maximum resistance in each resistance sends the light of minimum brightness.
In a word, when onesize data current I11 to I61 is delivered to pixel E11 to E61, utilize the resistance between each pixel E11 to E61 and the ground, the brightness of control pixel E11 to E61.
In Fig. 2 C, the resistance between pixel E12 and the ground is Rs+5Rp.Therefore, send the light of minimum brightness corresponding to the pixel E12 among the pixel E12 to E62 of the second scan line S2.
Below pixel E11 and E12 are compared.
Resistance between pixel E11 and the ground is Rs, but the resistance between pixel E12 and the ground is Rs+5Rp.Therefore, presetting pixel E11 to E12, when having same brightness, that is, when the data current I11 to I12 of identical size was delivered to pixel E11 to E61, E12 compared with pixel, and pixel E11 sends the higher light of brightness.In this case, pixel E12 is near pixel E11, and therefore, the user awares the luminance difference of pixel E11 and E12.
In a word, on this light-emitting device,,, between pixel, still there is luminance difference to have same brightness although preset each pixel.In addition, the user can aware the luminance difference between the pixel E11 to E12.

Processing procedure below with reference to Fig. 5 B and Fig. 5 C detailed description driven for emitting lights device.
Fig. 5 B and Fig. 5 C drive the schematic diagram of the processing procedure of light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the invention.
At first, the first scan line S1 among the scan line S1 to S4 is connected to the light emitting source of preferred ground connection, shown in Fig. 5 B.Other scan lines S2 to S4 is connected to the non-light emitting source that voltage is V1, and wherein voltage V1 has identical amplitude with the driver element Vc of light-emitting device.Suppose this light emitting source ground connection below.
Subsequently, will deliver to data wire D1 to D6 corresponding to the data current I11 to I61 of first video data.In this case, by data wire D1 to D6, pixel E11 to E61 and the first scan line S1, I11 to I61 is sent to ground with data current.Therefore, luminous corresponding to the pixel E11 to E61 of the first scan line S1.

Below, by the luminance difference between pixel E11 and the E12, will describe the processing procedure that drives pixel E11 to E64 below in detail.
At first, resistance between each pixel E11 to E64 and the ground is described.
On a cathode layer, in the direction of first end that is connected to the respective cathode line from it to its second end, its width increases, as shown in Figure 3.Therefore, on this cathode layer,, reduce corresponding to the resistance between the part of the pixel relevant, shown in Fig. 5 B with this cathode layer in direction from first end to second end.
For example, the resistance between pixel E11 and the ground is Rs, and the resistance between pixel E21 and the ground is Rs+Rp, and the resistance between pixel E31 and the ground is Rs+1.8Rp.In addition, the resistance between pixel E41 and the ground is Rs+2.4Rp, and the resistance between pixel E51 and the ground is Rs+2.8Rp, and the resistance between pixel E61 and the ground is Rs+3Rp.
In Fig. 5 C, the resistance between pixel E12 and the ground is Rs+3Rp
Brightness with pixel E11 and E61 compares below.
On light-emitting device of the present invention, the resistance between pixel E11 and the ground is Rs, and the resistance between pixel E61 and the ground is Rs+3Rp.
At this, the cathode voltage VC11 of pixel E11 to E61 and VC61 influence the brightness of pixel E11 to E61.In addition, have when onesize at data current I11 to I61, the resistance of the resistor between cathode voltage VC11 and VC61 and each pixel E11 to E61 and the ground is directly proportional.Therefore, when data current I11 to I61 has identical size, utilize the resistance between each pixel E11 to E61 and the ground, the brightness of control pixel E11 to E61.
In these cases, first resistance between pixel E61 and the ground is greater than second resistance between pixel E11 and the ground, therefore, has when onesize at data current I11 to I61, and the brightness of the light that pixel E61 sends is lower than the brightness of the light that pixel E11 sends.
Yet the difference of first resistance and second resistance is 3Rp, and therefore, the difference of first resistance and second resistance is less than the difference (5A) of each resistance of the light-emitting device of describing in background technology.Therefore, the user is not aware of the luminance difference of pixel E11 and E61.Particularly, when the size of light-emitting device increases, that is, when pixel quantity increased, the luminance difference of each pixel in the light-emitting device of the present invention was much smaller than the luminance difference of the light-emitting device of describing in background technology.
Brightness with pixel E11 and E12 compares below.
Resistance between pixel E11 and the ground is Rs, and the resistance between pixel E12 and the ground is Rs+3Rp.Therefore, E11 compares with pixel, and pixel E12 sends the lower light of brightness.Yet the difference of resistance is little, therefore, has when onesize at data current I11 and I12, and the user is not aware of the luminance difference between pixel E11 and the E12.
In a word, on light-emitting device of the present invention, at predetermined direction, the width of each cathode layer 302 is increasing, and therefore, the user is not aware of the luminance difference of pixel E11 to E64.Can utilize experiment to determine the intensity of variation of the width of cathode layer 302.
