Abstract

An organic light-emitting circuit structure having a temperature function includes an organic light-emitting diode which has an anode and a cathode opposite to each other; a driving transistor including a first electrode and a second electrode; the first electrode is a source electrode, the second electrode is a drain electrode; or, the first electrode is the drain electrode, the second electrode is the source electrode; a temperature sensitive resistor, which is electrically connected between the driving transistor and the light-emitting device or between the driving transistor and the voltage source. The temperature sensitive resistor increases a resistance value at sensing a temperature increase or decreases the resistance value at sensing a temperature decrease. As a result a current through the organic light-emitting diode stays compensated and stable, thereby ensuring that the organic light-emitting diode keeps emitting light normally under various temperature conditions.
