Abstract

A display device includes a plurality of sub-pixels. The sub-pixels include a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel. The first sub-pixel includes a first light emitting element and a first control circuit. The first control circuit is configured to provide a first driving current to the first light emitting element. The second sub-pixel includes a second light emitting element and a second control circuit. The second control circuit is configured to provide a second driving current to the second light emitting element. The first control circuit and the second control circuit are configured to differently control pulse amplitude of the first driving current and pulse amplitude of the second driving current, such that both of the first light emitting element and the second light emitting element emit at a target wavelength or a color point range (e.g. +/−1.5˜2 nm).
