Abstract

A micro-LED display apparatus presented herein is capable of efficiently using the output of a timing controller. Power consumption of the micro-LED display apparatus can be reduced by efficiently using the output of the timing controller.

Claims (32)

1 . A micro-LED display apparatus, comprising:

a timing controller configured to output image data;

a display panel including a plurality of pixel arrays that are connected to a data line; and

a data driver configured to generate a data voltage based on the image data and apply the data voltage to the data line,

wherein a pixel array of the plurality of pixel arrays comprises a gate in array (GIA) circuit that provides a scan signal to a subpixel of the pixel array, and

wherein the GIA circuit comprises:

a first transistor including a gate electrode connected to a QB node of the GIA circuit, a source electrode that receives a gate high voltage, and a drain electrode that outputs an N-th carry signal;

a second transistor including a gate electrode connected to a Q node of the GIA circuit, a source electrode that outputs the N-th carry signal, and a drain electrode that receives an N-th carry clock signal;

a third transistor including a gate electrode connected to the same QB node as the gate electrode of the first transistor, a source electrode that receives the gate high voltage, and a drain electrode that outputs an N-th scan signal;
