詳細而言,於發光期間EMP,驅動電流自系統高電壓端VDD經由第十電晶體T10、第一驅動電晶體TD1、第十二電晶體T12以及發光元件L1流至系統低電壓端VSS。所述的驅動電流的脈衝幅度是由第一驅動電晶體TD1依據其閘極端的電位調整。第一驅動電晶體TD1的閘極端的電位是依據在設定期間P3中所接收的第二資料訊號DATA_PAM的電壓決定。關於第一驅動電晶體TD1的閘極端的電位的設定的詳細操作方式已於先前段落敘述,在此不再贅述。 Specifically, during the light emitting period EMP, the driving current flows from the system high voltage terminal VDD to the system low voltage terminal VSS via the tenth transistor T10 , the first driving transistor TD1 , the twelfth transistor T12 and the light emitting element L1 . The pulse amplitude of the driving current is adjusted by the first driving transistor TD1 according to the potential of its gate terminal. The potential of the gate terminal of the first driving transistor TD1 is determined according to the voltage of the second data signal DATA_PAM received in the setting period P3. The detailed operation of setting the potential of the gate terminal of the first driving transistor TD1 has been described in the previous paragraphs, and will not be repeated here.

此時,系統高電壓端VDD的電壓會經由第三電晶體T3傳送至第一電容C1的第二端,藉此穩定第一電容C1的電位。 At this time, the voltage of the system high voltage terminal VDD is transmitted to the second terminal of the first capacitor C1 through the third transistor T3, thereby stabilizing the potential of the first capacitor C1.

並且,於發光期間EMP,掃頻訊號SWEEP[n]會逐漸下拉第二電容C2的第二端的電位。此時,透過電容耦合作用,第二電容C2的第一端以及第二驅動電晶體TD2的閘極端的電位亦會被逐漸下拉,並且依據第二驅動電路120於設定期間P2中接收的第一資料訊號DATAPWM[m]的電壓決定第二驅動電晶體TD2的導通時間點。當第二驅動電晶體TD2導通時,系統電壓端PPO的電壓會經由第十一電晶體T11以及第二驅動電晶體TD2傳送至第一驅動電晶體TD1的閘極端,使第一驅動電晶體TD1關斷,藉此控制驅動電流的脈衝寬度。 Moreover, during the light emitting period EMP, the frequency sweep signal SWEEP[n] will gradually pull down the potential of the second terminal of the second capacitor C2. At this time, through capacitive coupling, the potentials of the first terminal of the second capacitor C2 and the gate terminal of the second driving transistor TD2 will also be gradually pulled down, and according to the first potential received by the second driving circuit 120 in the setting period P2 The voltage of the data signal DATAPWM[m] determines the turn-on time point of the second driving transistor TD2. When the second drive transistor TD2 is turned on, the voltage of the system voltage terminal PPO will be transmitted to the gate terminal of the first drive transistor TD1 through the eleventh transistor T11 and the second drive transistor TD2, so that the first drive transistor TD1 off, thereby controlling the pulse width of the drive current.

值得注意的是,在發光期間EMP中,由於第二穩壓控制訊號VSET2[n]具有高邏輯位準,穩壓電路140中的第二電晶體T2會關斷,而達到在發光期間EMP中將系統電壓端PPO與第一電容C1的第二端電性隔絕。如此,在發光期間EMP中,畫素電路100a不會利用系統電壓端PPO的電壓對第一電容C1進行穩壓操作。 It should be noted that during the light-emitting period EMP, since the second voltage-stabilizing control signal VSET2[n] has a high logic level, the second transistor T2 in the voltage-stabilizing circuit 140 will be turned off, thereby achieving The system voltage terminal PPO is electrically isolated from the second terminal of the first capacitor C1. In this way, during the light-emitting period EMP, the pixel circuit 100a does not use the voltage of the system voltage terminal PPO to perform a voltage stabilizing operation on the first capacitor C1.

另一方面,在訊號設定期間SWP中,由於第二穩壓控制訊號VSET2[n]具有低邏輯位準,穩壓電路140中的第二電晶體T2會導通,以將系統電壓端PPO與第一電容C1的第二端的電路路徑導通。如此,在訊號設定期間SWP中,畫素電路100a能夠利用系統電壓端PPO的電壓對第一電容C1進行穩壓操作,藉以降低畫素電路100a的控制訊號在切換時或畫素電路100a在接收 訊號時對第一電容C1的電位的影響,藉此穩定第一驅動電晶體TD1的閘極端的電位。 On the other hand, in the signal setting period SWP, since the second voltage stabilization control signal VSET2[n] has a low logic level, the second transistor T2 in the voltage stabilization circuit 140 is turned on, so as to connect the system voltage terminal PPO to the first The circuit path of the second end of a capacitor C1 is turned on. In this way, during the signal setting period SWP, the pixel circuit 100a can use the voltage of the system voltage terminal PPO to perform a voltage stabilization operation on the first capacitor C1, so as to reduce the switching of the control signal of the pixel circuit 100a or the reception of the pixel circuit 100a. The influence of the signal on the potential of the first capacitor C1 thereby stabilizes the potential of the gate terminal of the first driving transistor TD1.

因此,在具有穩壓電路140中的第二電晶體T2的畫素電路100a的架構下,第一驅動電路110可以更準確的控制第一驅動電晶體TD1的閘極端以及第一電容C1的第一端的電位,從而加強對驅動電流的脈衝幅度控制,進而更佳的控制發光元件L1的發光強度,藉以增加顯示器的均勻度。 Therefore, under the architecture of the pixel circuit 100a having the second transistor T2 in the voltage stabilizing circuit 140, the first driving circuit 110 can more accurately control the gate terminal of the first driving transistor TD1 and the second transistor of the first capacitor C1. The potential at one end strengthens the control over the pulse width of the driving current, thereby better controlling the luminous intensity of the light-emitting element L1, so as to increase the uniformity of the display.

類似地,在發光期間EMP中,由於第一穩壓控制訊號VSET1[n]具有高邏輯位準,穩壓電路140中的第一電晶體T1會關斷,而達到在發光期間EMP中將系統電壓端PPO與第二電容C2的第二端電性隔絕。如此,在發光期間EMP中,畫素電路100a不會利用系統電壓端PPO的電壓對第二電容C2進行穩壓操作。 Similarly, during the light-emitting period EMP, since the first voltage-stabilizing control signal VSET1[n] has a high logic level, the first transistor T1 in the voltage-stabilizing circuit 140 will be turned off, so that the system will be turned off during the light-emitting period EMP. The voltage terminal PPO is electrically isolated from the second terminal of the second capacitor C2. In this way, during the light-emitting period EMP, the pixel circuit 100a does not use the voltage of the system voltage terminal PPO to perform a voltage stabilizing operation on the second capacitor C2.

並且,在訊號設定期間SWP中,由於第一穩壓控制訊號VSET1[n]具有低邏輯位準,穩壓電路140中的第一電晶體T1會導通,以將系統電壓端PPO與第二電容C2的第二端的電路路徑導通。如此,在訊號設定期間SWP中,畫素電路100a能夠利用系統電壓端PPO的電壓對第二電容C2進行穩壓操作,藉以降低畫素電路100a的控制訊號在切換時或畫素電路100a在接收訊號時對第二電容C2的電位的影響,藉此穩定第二驅動電晶體TD2的閘極端的電位。Moreover, in the signal setting period SWP, since the first voltage stabilization control signal VSET1[n] has a low logic level, the first transistor T1 in the voltage stabilization circuit 140 is turned on to connect the system voltage terminal PPO to the second capacitor The circuit path of the second end of C2 is turned on. In this way, during the signal setting period SWP, the pixel circuit 100a can use the voltage of the system voltage terminal PPO to perform a voltage stabilization operation on the second capacitor C2, so as to reduce the switching of the control signal of the pixel circuit 100a or the reception of the pixel circuit 100a. The influence of the signal on the potential of the second capacitor C2, thereby stabilizing the potential of the gate terminal of the second driving transistor TD2.

因此,在具有穩壓電路140中的第一電晶體T1的畫素電路100a的架構下,第二驅動電路120可以更準確的控制第二驅動電晶體TD2的閘極端以及第二電容C2的第一端的電位,從而加強對驅動電流的脈衝寬度控制,進而更佳的控制發光元件L1的灰階,藉以增加顯示器的均勻度。Therefore, under the architecture of the pixel circuit 100a having the first transistor T1 in the voltage stabilizing circuit 140, the second driving circuit 120 can more accurately control the gate terminal of the second driving transistor TD2 and the first transistor of the second capacitor C2. The potential at one end strengthens the control over the pulse width of the driving current, thereby better controlling the gray scale of the light-emitting element L1, so as to increase the uniformity of the display.

The pulse width of the driving current Id is determined by the voltage of the first data signal DATAPWM[m] received by the second driving circuit 120 according to the second control signal G2[n].

並且,在第二驅動電路120依據第一控制訊號G1[n]進行重置操作以及依據第二控制訊號G2[n]進行寫入操作時,第一穩壓控制訊號VSET1[n]具有低邏輯位準,藉此穩定第二驅動電路120中的第二電容C2以及第二驅動電晶體TD2的閘極端的電位。Moreover, when the second driving circuit 120 performs a reset operation according to the first control signal G1[n] and a write operation according to the second control signal G2[n], the first voltage stabilization control signal VSET1[n] has a low logic. level, thereby stabilizing the potential of the second capacitor C2 in the second driving circuit 120 and the gate terminal of the second driving transistor TD2.

相似地,在第一驅動電路110依據第三控制訊號G3[n]進行重置操作以及依據第四控制訊號G4[n]進行寫入操作時,第二穩壓控制訊號VSET2[n]具有低邏輯位準,藉此穩定第一驅動電路110中的第一電容C1以及第一驅動電晶體TD1的閘極端的電位。Similarly, when the first driving circuit 110 performs a reset operation according to the third control signal G3[n] and performs a write operation according to the fourth control signal G4[n], the second voltage regulation control signal VSET2[n] has a low voltage. logic level, thereby stabilizing the potentials of the first capacitor C1 in the first driving circuit 110 and the gate terminal of the first driving transistor TD1.

如第5E圖所示,第一發光控制訊號EM1[n]可以是由顯示器中的驅動器中的移位電路所提供,第二發光控制訊號EM2[n]是相異於第一發光控制訊號EM1[n]的方波訊號。在一些實施例中,可以由外部電路提供方波訊號作為第二發光控制訊號EM2[n]。然而,本揭示文件不以此為限,在一些實施例中,亦可由內部電路提供方波訊號作為第二發光控制訊號EM2[n]。As shown in Figure 5E, the first light emission control signal EM1[n] can be provided by a shift circuit in the driver of the display, and the second light emission control signal EM2[n] is different from the first light emission control signal EM1 [n] square wave signal. In some embodiments, an external circuit may provide a square wave signal as the second light emission control signal EM2[n]. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and in some embodiments, a square wave signal may also be provided by an internal circuit as the second light emission control signal EM2[n].

由於畫素電路100a是由電性耦接在驅動電流的電流路徑上的第十電晶體T10的導通與否決定驅動電流開始產生的時間點。因此,相較於第一發光控制訊號EM1[n],利用方波訊實施的第二發光控制訊號EM2[n]可以更直接且快速的開啟第十電晶體T10。如此,驅動電流Id的上升緣可以更好的被控制。Since the pixel circuit 100a determines the time point when the driving current starts to be generated by whether the tenth transistor T10 electrically coupled to the current path of the driving current is turned on or not. Therefore, compared with the first light emission control signal EM1 [n], the second light emission control signal EM2 [n] implemented by using the square wave signal can turn on the tenth transistor T10 more directly and quickly. In this way, the rising edge of the driving current Id can be better controlled.

在上述的實施例中,第一驅動電路110電性耦接在驅動電流的電流路徑上,而第二驅動電路120並未電性耦接在驅動電流的電流路徑上。因此,在畫素電路100中是以第二驅動電路120控制第一驅動電路110而決定驅動電流的脈衝寬度。在另一些實施例中,畫素電路的電路架構可以其他架構實施,並配合重置電路130以及穩壓電路140亦可達到與本案相同的功效。In the above-mentioned embodiments, the first driving circuit 110 is electrically coupled to the current path of the driving current, while the second driving circuit 120 is not electrically coupled to the current path of the driving current. Therefore, in the pixel circuit 100 , the second driving circuit 120 controls the first driving circuit 110 to determine the pulse width of the driving current. In some other embodiments, the circuit architecture of the pixel circuit can be implemented in other architectures, and the same effects as in this case can also be achieved by cooperating with the reset circuit 130 and the voltage stabilizing circuit 140 .

在一些實施例中,畫素電路中的脈衝幅度調變電路以及脈衝寬度調變電路皆可電性耦接在驅動電流的電流路徑上。具體而言,脈衝寬度調變電路更包含電性耦接在驅動電流的電流路徑上的截止電晶體(或切換電晶體),並且脈衝寬度調變電路中的驅動電晶體會電性耦接在系統電壓端以及截止電晶體的閘極端之間,脈衝寬度調變電路中的控制電路可以控制驅動電晶體以導通系統電壓端至截止電晶體的閘極端的電路路徑,藉以改變截止電晶體的狀態,從而由截止電晶體控制驅動電流的電流路徑的導通狀態,進而控制驅動電流的脈衝寬度。在這樣的電路架構下,亦可搭配穩壓電路140的電路架構,在訊號設定期間對脈衝寬度調變電路中的電容進行穩壓操作,在發光期間不會對脈衝寬度調變電路中的電容進行穩壓操作。從而更佳的控制驅動電流的波形,進而更佳的控制發光元件在灰階的亮度。In some embodiments, both the pulse amplitude modulation circuit and the pulse width modulation circuit in the pixel circuit can be electrically coupled to the current path of the driving current. Specifically, the pulse width modulation circuit further includes a cut-off transistor (or switching transistor) electrically coupled to the current path of the driving current, and the driving transistor in the pulse width modulation circuit is electrically coupled to Connected between the system voltage terminal and the gate terminal of the cut-off transistor, the control circuit in the pulse width modulation circuit can control the driving transistor to conduct the circuit path from the system voltage terminal to the gate terminal of the cut-off transistor, so as to change the cut-off voltage The state of the crystal, so that the conduction state of the current path of the driving current is controlled by the cut-off transistor, and then the pulse width of the driving current is controlled. Under such a circuit structure, the circuit structure of the voltage stabilizing circuit 140 can also be used to stabilize the voltage of the capacitor in the pulse width modulation circuit during the signal setting period. capacitor for voltage regulation. Therefore, the waveform of the driving current can be better controlled, and thus the brightness of the light-emitting element in the gray scale can be better controlled.

與第3圖之實施例中的控制訊號的時序相較,第6圖之實施例中的控制訊號的不同之處在於,第一穩壓控制訊號VSET1[n]相異於第二穩壓控制訊號VSET2[n]。更確切來說,在第6圖所示的第一穩壓控制訊號VSET1[n]在第二驅動電路120的重置期間P1以及設定期間P2具有低邏輯位準,以導通第二電容C2的第二端至系統電壓端PPO的電路路徑,從而穩定第二電容C2的電位。另一方面,第一穩壓控制訊號VSET1[n]在第一驅動電路110的重置期間P3以及設定期間P4具有高邏輯位準,以電性隔絕第二電容C2的第二端以及系統電壓端PPO。相似地,在第6圖所示的第二穩壓控制訊號VSET2[n]在第二驅動電路120的重置期間P1以及設定期間P2具有高邏輯位準,以電性隔絕第一電容C1的第二端以及系統電壓端PPO。另一方面,第二穩壓控制訊號VSET2[n]在第一驅動電路110的重置期間P3以及設定期間P4具有低邏輯位準,以導通第一電容C1的第二端至系統電壓端PPO的電路路徑,從而穩定第二電容C2的電位。於第6圖中的控制訊號的其他細部波形與作動方式,大致相同於先前第3圖之實施例中的控制訊號,在此不另贅述。Compared with the timing sequence of the control signal in the embodiment of FIG. 3, the difference of the control signal in the embodiment of FIG. 6 is that the first voltage regulation control signal VSET1[n] is different from the second voltage regulation control signal VSET1[n] Signal VSET2[n].

On the other hand, the first voltage stabilization control signal VSET1[n] has a high logic level during the reset period P3 and the set period P4 of the first driving circuit 110, so as to electrically isolate the second terminal of the second capacitor C2 from the system voltage. Terminal PPO. Similarly, the second voltage stabilization control signal VSET2[n] shown in FIG. 6 has a high logic level during the reset period P1 and the set period P2 of the second driving circuit 120, so as to electrically isolate the first capacitor C1.

On the other hand, the second voltage stabilization control signal VSET2[n] has a low logic level during the reset period P3 and the set period P4 of the first driving circuit 110, so as to conduct the second terminal of the first capacitor C1 to the system voltage terminal PPO. circuit path, thereby stabilizing the potential of the second capacitor C2. Other detailed waveforms and action modes of the control signal in FIG. 6 are roughly the same as those of the control signal in the previous embodiment shown in FIG. 3 , and will not be repeated here.

與第2圖之實施例中的畫素電路100a相較,第7圖之實施例中的畫素電路100b的不同之處在於,第四電晶體T4以及第七電晶體T7的各自的操作方式是以類似二極體的功能實現。更確切來說,在第7圖所示的第四電晶體T4的閘極端以及第二端皆是用以接收第一控制訊號G1[n],因此當第一控制訊號G1[n]具有低邏輯位準時,第四電晶體T4導通並將具有低邏輯位準的第一控制訊號G1[n]傳送至第二電容C2的第一端以及第二驅動電晶體TD2的閘極端,以重置第二驅動電晶體TD2的閘極端。另一方面,當第一控制訊號G1[n]具有高邏輯位準時,第四電晶體T4會關斷,以結束重置操作。Compared with the pixel circuit 100a in the embodiment of FIG. 2 , the difference of the pixel circuit 100b in the embodiment of FIG. 7 lies in the respective operation modes of the fourth transistor T4 and the seventh transistor T7 It is realized by the function similar to a diode.

For easier understanding, please refer to FIG. 9. FIG. 9 is a timing diagram of control signals of the pixel circuit 100c in FIG. 8 in the signal setting period SWP and the light emitting period according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 8, a display period in the control sequence of the pixel circuit 100c can be divided into two periods, which are the signal setting period SWP and the light emitting period EMP. The signal setting period SWP can be divided into four periods, which are reset periods P1 and P3 and setting periods P2 and P4 respectively. It should be noted that the time lengths of the periods in FIG. 9 are just examples, and are not intended to limit the disclosed document.

與第3圖之實施例中的控制訊號的時序相較,第9圖之實施例中的控制訊號的不同之處在於,不具有第一控制訊號G1[n]以及第三控制訊號G3[n],而是具有重置控制訊號RES[n]。重置控制訊號RES[n]在第二驅動電路120的重置期間P1具有低邏輯位準,以導通第一電容C1的第二端至重置控制訊號RES[n]的電路路徑,從而穩定第一電容C1的電位。類似地,重置控制訊號RES[n]在第一驅動電路110的重置期間P3具有低邏輯位準,以導通第一電容C1的第二端至重置控制訊號RES[n]的電路路徑,從而穩定第一電容C1的電位。另一方面,重置控制訊號RES[n]在設定期間P2及P4以及發光期間EMP具有高邏輯位準,以電性隔絕第一電容C1的第二端以及重置控制訊號RES[n]。於第9圖中的控制訊號的其他細部波形與作動方式,大致相同於先前第3圖之實施例中的控制訊號,在此不另贅述。 Compared with the timing sequence of the control signal in the embodiment of FIG. 3, the difference of the control signal in the embodiment of FIG. 9 is that there is no first control signal G1[n] and third control signal G3[n] ], but has a reset control signal RES[n]. The reset control signal RES[n] has a low logic level during the reset period P1 of the second driving circuit 120 to turn on the circuit path from the second terminal of the first capacitor C1 to the reset control signal RES[n], thereby stabilizing The potential of the first capacitor C1. Similarly, the reset control signal RES[n] has a low logic level during the reset period P3 of the first driving circuit 110 to turn on the circuit path from the second terminal of the first capacitor C1 to the reset control signal RES[n]. , so as to stabilize the potential of the first capacitor C1. On the other hand, the reset control signal RES[n] has a high logic level during the setting periods P2 and P4 and the light emitting period EMP, so as to electrically isolate the second end of the first capacitor C1 from the reset control signal RES[n]. Other detailed waveforms and action modes of the control signal in FIG. 9 are roughly the same as the control signal in the previous embodiment in FIG. 3 , and will not be repeated here.

請參閱第10圖,第10圖為依據本揭露一些實施例之本第8圖的畫素電路100c在訊號設定期間SWP以及發光期間EMP的控制訊號的時序圖。如第10圖所示,在畫素電路100c的控制時序中的一個顯示週期可分為兩個期間,其分別為訊號設定期間SWP以及發光期間EMP。在訊號設定期間SWP中可分為四個期間,其分別為重置期間P1及P3以及設定期間P2及P4。需特別說明的是,第10圖中的該些期間的時間長度僅用以示例,並非用以限制本揭露文件。Please refer to FIG. 10 . FIG. 10 is a timing diagram of control signals of the pixel circuit 100 c in FIG. 8 during the signal setting period SWP and the light emitting period according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 10 , a display period in the control sequence of the pixel circuit 100 c can be divided into two periods, which are the signal setting period SWP and the light emitting period EMP respectively. The signal setting period SWP can be divided into four periods, which are reset periods P1 and P3 and setting periods P2 and P4 respectively. It should be noted that the time lengths of the periods in FIG. 10 are only examples, and are not intended to limit the disclosed document.

與第9圖之實施例中的控制訊號的時序相較,第10圖之實施例中的控制訊號的不同之處在於,掃頻訊號SWEEP[n]的波形。更確切來說,掃頻訊號SWEEP[n]在發光期間EMP之間已經被切換至高邏輯位準,並在發光期間EMP被逐漸下拉至低邏輯位準,由於掃頻訊號SWEEP[n]是透過電容耦合作用,利用電位的改變驅動(上拉或下拉)第二驅動電晶體TD2的閘極端。因此,前述實施例中的掃頻訊號SWEEP[n]亦可由第10圖所示的掃頻訊號SWEEP[n]取代。於第10圖中的控制訊號的其他細部波形與作動方式,大致相同於先前第9圖之實施例中的控制訊號,在此不另贅述。Compared with the timing sequence of the control signal in the embodiment of FIG. 9 , the difference of the control signal in the embodiment of FIG. 10 lies in the waveform of the sweep signal SWEEP[n]. More precisely, the sweep signal SWEEP[n] has been switched to a high logic level during the light-emitting period EMP, and is gradually pulled down to a low logic level during the light-emitting period, because the sweep signal SWEEP[n] is passed through The capacitive coupling effect drives (pulls up or pulls down) the gate terminal of the second driving transistor TD2 by changing the potential. Therefore, the frequency sweep signal SWEEP[n] in the foregoing embodiments can also be replaced by the frequency sweep signal SWEEP[n] shown in FIG. 10 . Other detailed waveforms and action modes of the control signal in FIG. 10 are roughly the same as those of the control signal in the previous embodiment shown in FIG. 9 , and will not be repeated here.

In another embodiment, those skilled in the art can replace the transistors TD1, TD2 and T1-T12 above with N-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (N-type MOSFET, NMOS) switches, C Type Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (C-type MOSFET, CMOS) switch or other similar switching elements, and system voltage (for example, system high voltage terminal VDD, system low voltage terminal VSS and system voltage terminal PPO), Control signals (for example, the first control signal G1[n], the second control signal G2[n], the third control signal G3[n], the fourth control signal G4[n], the first voltage regulation control signal VSET1[n] ], the second voltage regulation control signal VSET2[n], the first light emission control signal EM1[n], the second light emission control signal EM2[n]) and the logic of the first data signal DATAPWM[m] and the second data signal DATA_PAM Adjusting the level correspondingly can also achieve the same function as that of this embodiment. Moreover, the aforementioned light emitting element L1 may be implemented by a micro light emitting diode, a submillimeter light emitting diode or other light emitting elements.

綜上所述,本揭示文件利用穩壓電路140在訊號設定期間SWP對第一驅動電路110中的第一電容C1以及第二驅動電路120中的第二電容C2進行穩壓,藉此加強對驅動電流的脈衝波形的控制能力,進而增強低灰階控制。並且利用方波訊號作為第一發光控制訊號EM1[n]控制穩壓電路140中的第三電晶體T3,可以快速的開啟驅動電流的電流路徑,並且利用第三電晶體T3的配置亦可在畫素電路100具有上述功能下減少電路架構中電晶體的配置數量。To sum up, the disclosed document utilizes the voltage stabilizing circuit 140 to stabilize the voltage of the first capacitor C1 in the first driving circuit 110 and the second capacitor C2 in the second driving circuit 120 during the signal setting period SWP, thereby strengthening the protection against The ability to control the pulse waveform of the driving current, thereby enhancing the low gray scale control.
