Abstract

A current pixel circuit of a display device includes a switching transistor which may be turned on in response to the current selection signal to transfer a data signal, a driving transistor for outputting a current corresponding to the data signal, and first and second transistors being turned on in response to the previous selection signal. In the display device, the gate electrodes of the switching transistor of a previous pixel and the first and second transistors of the current pixel are coupled to one scan line for transferring the previous selection signal. Accordingly, the transistors are arranged in the order of the switching transistor of the previous pixel and the first and second transistors of the current pixel on the scan line at an area between two adjacent data lines.

Claims (9)

1. A display panel comprising:

a scan line having at least an extending area extending lengthwise in a first direction;

first, second and third semiconductor layer areas insulatively intersecting the extending area of the scan line; and

a data electrode extending in a second direction, and being coupled to the one end of the first semiconductor layer area through a contact hole,

the second semiconductor layer area being arranged between the first semiconductor layer area and the third semiconductor layer area.

2. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the first, second and third semiconductor layer areas intersects the scan line at least twice.

3. The display panel as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first semiconductor layer area is formed in an approximate “U” shape.

4. The display panel as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the second and third semiconductor layer areas are formed in an approximate “n” shape.

5. The display panel as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a second data electrode adjacent to said data electrode and extending in the second direction, wherein the first, second and third semiconductor layer areas cross a portion of the extending area of the scan line between said data electrode and the second data electrode.
