Continuing to refer to FIG. 1 , the illumination source 104 has at least one illumination module. In this embodiment, the illumination source 104 has a plurality of illumination modules 110, and the illumination modules 110 are arranged in an array. Essentially, each of the illumination modules 110 in the illumination source 104 is a single pixel. In addition, each of the light-emitting modules n 具有 has a light-emitting diode 112 . When each of the light-emitting diodes 112 is driven by a corresponding driving current, it is respectively illuminated. The gray level of each pixel is related to the driving current driving each of the light-emitting diodes. In some embodiments, these light emitting diodes 112 can be implemented using organic light emitting diodes. 2 is a circuit block diagram of a preferred light emitting module in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention; and FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the steps of a method for operating a light emitting diode in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in the light-emitting module 110, a driving circuit 202 can be electrically coupled to the anode of the light-emitting diode 112 as described in step S302, and can be timely drive. In the present embodiment, the driving circuit can receive the power output from the power supply device 102 of Fig. 1, for example, the operating voltage Vref1. In addition, the driving circuit 202 can also receive a data signal v_Data and can receive a plurality of control signals ', such as control signals VN1, VN2 and VEM. Then, as described in step S304, the cathode of the light emitting diode can be electrically coupled to the operating voltage VSS. In this embodiment, the voltage signal VSS has a fixed first potential. On the other hand, the anode of the LED 112 can be electrically coupled to the operating voltage Vref2 through a switch 204 as described in step S306. 201133447 ^A working voltage Vref2 has a fixed second potential, and the second potential is not the same as the potential. In particular, the sum of the absolute value of the voltage across the switch and the second M4 will be less than the sum of the first potential and the starting voltage of the light-emitting diode. In addition, the operation of the i-switch 2〇4 can be as described in the step s3〇8, during the period of the drive 202, during the partial period, for example, the discharge operation period, the switch 204 is turned on, and the light-emitting diode 112 is made. Rendered off. When L is in the discharge operation period, if the drive circuit 202 generates a leakage current, the switch 204 is turned on, and the leakage current can be passed over the light-emitting diode 112. The first embodiment, 4 is a circuit diagram of a light-emitting module according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 4, in the embodiment, the driving circuit 2〇2 includes a first transistor 402 and a second transistor 4. 〇4, a third transistor 4〇6, a fourth transistor, a fifth transistor 410, and a capacitor 412. The first path end of the first transistor 4〇2 electrically consumes the data signal V-Data, and its control is controlled by the first control signal. In addition, the second path end of the first-transistor 4〇2 is electrically connected to the control end of the second transistor 404 through the capacitor 412, and the second path end of the first transistor 4〇2 is electrically coupled. Connected to the first path end of the fourth transistor 4〇8. The second path end and the control end of the fourth transistor 408 electrically consume the working voltage Vref1 and the third control signal VEM, respectively. The first path end of the second transistor 404 is electrically coupled to the operating voltage VDD' and the second path end is electrically coupled to the first transistor end of the third transistor 4〇6 and the fifth transistor 410. The control terminal of the third transistor is electrically connected to the second control signal VN2' and the second terminal of the third transistor is electrically coupled to the control terminal of the second transistor 404. On the other hand, the control terminal of the fifth transistor 41A is electrically connected to the control condition number VEM, and the second path is electrically connected to the anode of the body 112 of the light-emitting diode 201133447. Referring to FIG. 4, the switch 2〇4 can also be implemented by using a drain transistor 422. The first path end of the draining transistor 422 is electrically coupled to the anode of the light emitting diode 112, and the control end and the second path end of the draining transistor are electrically connected to the first control signal VN2. And work electricity is willing to vref2. Thus, the degree of conduction of the first channel end and the second channel end of the draining transistor 422 is determined by the potential of the control terminal of the draining transistor 422. In particular, when the drain transistor 422 is turned on, the sum of the absolute value of the voltage between the first path end and the second path end of the bow current transistor and the second potential of the operating voltage Vref2 is less than the operating voltage Vref1. The sum of the first potential and the starting voltage of the light-emitting diode 112 in the present embodiment 'the transistors 402, 404, 406, 408, 410 and 422 may both be PMOS transistors. The timing of the control signal in Fig. 4 will be described below by taking a PM〇s transistor as an example. Figure 5 is a timing diagram of a control signal in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, during the discharge operation period P1, the first control signal VN1 is in a high state, and the second control signal VN2 and the third control signal VEM are both in a low state, thus causing the first transistor 4〇. 2 is turned off, and the third transistor 406, the fourth transistor 408, the fifth transistor 410, and the drain transistor 422 are all turned on. At this time, the charge originally stored in the capacitor 412 is discharged along the path PA1 of the third transistor 406 to the fifth transistor 410, thereby generating a current on the path PA1. At this time, due to the sum of the absolute value of the voltage between the first path end and the second path end of the drain transistor 422 and the second potential of the working voltage, the first potential and the light emitting diode of the working voltage Vref1 are smaller than the second potential of the operating voltage Vref1. The sum of the starting voltages of the bodies, so the light-emitting diodes 112 are not turned on. In other words, the current generated on the path PA1 at this time will flow over the light-emitting diodes 112, 201133447 and flow through the drain transistors 422. Therefore, there is no possibility of false illumination. During the previous write operation period P2, the first control control signal VN1 will switch to the low state; the second control signal VN2 will remain in the low state; and the third control signal VEM will switch to the high state. Therefore, the first transistor 4, the third transistor 406, and the drain transistor 422 are both turned on, and the fourth transistor 408 and the fifth transistor 410 are turned off. At this time, the data signal v_Data is input from the first path end of the first transistor 402 to the light emitting module 11A, and the capacitor 412 is stored from the second path end of the first transistor 402 to store the potential of the data signal v_Data. Then, during the subsequent write operation period P3, the first control signal VN1 and the second control signal VEM maintain the original state, and the second control signal VN2 switches from the low state to the high state, thereby causing the third transistor. And the draining transistor 422 will be turned off. This causes the potential stored in the capacitor 412 to be locked to the potential of the data signal V_Data. During the lighting operation period P4, the first control signal VN1 and the third control signal VEM are respectively switched to the high state and the low state, and the second control signal is maintained at the high state. Therefore, the first transistor 4〇2, the third transistor 4〇6, and the drain transistor 422 are turned off, and the fourth transistor and the fifth transistor 41〇 are turned on. At this time, the second transistor is generated by the electric street stored in the capacitor 412, and the driving current is driven by the fifth transistor "o" to drive the light-emitting diode 112 to emit light. As can be seen from FIG. The first control signal view and the third control signal are mutually inverted. Therefore, with this characteristic, the first control signal and the third control city VEM can be replaced with each other. The following discloses another embodiment to illustrate How to use less control signals to control the driving circuit. 201133447 Second Embodiment FIG. 6 is a circuit diagram of a lighting module according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6, the embodiment and the first implementation The difference in the example is that the fourth transistor 408 and the fifth transistor 410 can be implemented by using an NMOS transistor, and the first transistor 402, the second transistor 406, the third transistor 408, and the drain transistor 422 are still The PMOS transistor is implemented. In this way, the first control signal VN1 can be replaced by the third control signal VEM in the first embodiment, and sent to the control terminals of the fourth transistor 408 and the fifth transistor 410. Figure 7 is a timing diagram of a control signal according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 7, the person skilled in the art can refer to the content of the first embodiment, according to Figure 7. The timing of the control signal is shown to derive the operation steps of the light-emitting module 110 of FIG. 6, and therefore will not be described again. Third Embodiment Please continue to refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. In the third embodiment, the driving circuit 202 The first transistor 402, the third transistor 406, and the drain transistor 422 can be implemented by using an NMOS transistor, and the second transistor 404, the fourth transistor 408, and the fifth transistor 410 can utilize a PMOS transistor. In this way, those skilled in the art can apply the driving circuit 2〇2 in the third embodiment by simply inverting the timing of the control signals in FIG. 7. In summary, the present invention The anode of the light-emitting diode n2 is coupled to a fixed second potential through a switch, and the switch is turned on during the discharge operation period. Therefore, the present invention can cause the leakage current to flow through the path of the switch conduction. More The light-emitting diode 112 is used to solve the problem of false illumination.
