Abstract

A pixel unit. A first thin film transistor comprises a first control terminal receiving a scan signal, a first electrode receiving a data signal, and a second electrode. A second thin film transistor comprises a second control terminal coupled to the second electrode, a third electrode receiving a first voltage, a fourth electrode, and a fifth electrode coupled to one of the third and the fourth electrodes. A capacitor is coupled between the second control terminal and the third electrode. A light-emitting device is coupled between the fourth electrode and a second voltage.

Claims (22)

1. A pixel unit comprising:

a first thin film transistor comprising a first control terminal receiving a scan signal, a first electrode receiving a data signal, and a second electrode;

a second thin film transistor comprising a second control terminal coupled to the second electrode, a third electrode receiving a first voltage, a fourth electrode, and a fifth electrode;

a capacitor coupled between the second control terminal and the third electrode; and

a light-emitting device directly electrically connected between the fourth electrode and a second voltage, wherein the fifth electrode is coupled to the fourth electrode as the second thin-film transistor is an N-type, and the fifth electrode is coupled to the third electrode as the second thin-film transistor is a P-type.

2. The pixel unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting device is one of an organic light emitting diode (OLED) and a polymer light emitting diode (PLED).

3. The pixel unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the level of the first voltage exceeds that of the second voltage as the second thin-film transistor is a P-type.

4. A display panel comprising:

a gate driver supplying a plurality of scan signals;

a source driver supplying a plurality of data signals;

a display area comprising:

a plurality of gate electrodes receiving the scan signals;

a plurality of source electrodes receiving the data signals; and

a plurality of pixel units as claimed in claim 1 , each pixel unit receiving the corresponding scan signal and the corresponding data signal.

5. The display panel as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the light-emitting device is one of an organic light emitting diode (OLED) and a polymer light emitting diode (PLED).

6. The display panel as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the level of the first voltage exceeds that of the second voltage as the second thin-film transistor is a P-type.

7. A display device comprising:

a display panel as claimed in claim 4 ; and

a controller controlling the display panel for displaying an image.

8. An electronic device comprising:

a display device as claimed in claim 7 ; and

an adapter driving the display device.
