Abstract

A method of driving a display having a light emitting diode (LED) is provided. A driving pulse of a pulse width modulation method is applied to each pixel by a drive circuit, and a time for illuminating a red light, a blue light, and a green light, which are three primary colors, of each pixel is controlled, thereby controlling the luminance of the pixel.

Claims (10)

1. A method of driving a display having a light emitting diode (LED), comprising:

applying a driving pulse to each of pixels using a driving circuit through a pulse width modulation method to control times for illuminating lights of primary colors having red, green, and blue of each pixel,

wherein the light emitting diode comprises a multi junction light emitting diode, in which a plurality of layers configured to illuminate different colors are combined, and

wherein the multi junction light emitting diode has a first n-type semiconductor layer formed on a substrate, a first light emitting layer formed on the first n-type semiconductor layer for generating light of a first color, a p-type semiconductor layer formed on the first light emitting layer, a second light emitting layer formed on the p-type semiconductor layer for generating light of a second color different from the first color, and a second n-type semiconductor layer formed on the second light emitting layer, and

wherein a plurality of levels correspond to a plurality of turn-on durations of each pixel, which correspond to an amount of light emission defined in one refresh cycle for light generation.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the red, green, and blue of the pixel in each refresh cycle has one level selected from a minimum level to a maximum level.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein luminance of the pixel is determined by combination of the red, blue, and green illuminated based on the times for illumination in the refresh cycle.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the drive circuit applies a signal of a low level within a time corresponding to the minimum level to control the times for illuminating the red, blue, and green.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the times for illuminating the red, blue, and green are simultaneously controlled by one drive circuit.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the times for illuminating the red, blue, and green are controlled by three drive circuits, respectively.
