Abstract

An electronic device, including a first substrate, light emitting elements, a light emission driving element, a detection element, a control module, and a first memory element, is provided. The light emitting elements are disposed on the first substrate. The light emission driving element is electrically connected to the light emitting elements. The detection element is electrically connected to the light emitting elements and is configured to detect whether the light emitting elements are defective. The control module is electrically connected to the detection element and the light emission driving element. The first memory element is electrically connected to the control module and is configured to store a first brightness compensation table. In response to the detection element detecting that at least one of the light emitting elements is defective, the detection element outputs an adjustment signal to the control module. The control module generates a new first brightness compensation table.
