Abstract

A pixel includes a plurality of transistors and an organic light emitting diode, in which the transistors include a first transistor to control an amount of current flowing to the organic light emitting diode and additional transistors are connected to the first transistor or the organic light emitting diode, the first transistor is a Low Temperature Poly-Silicon (LTPS) thin film transistor, and one or more of the other transistors are oxide semiconductor transistors.

Claims (13)

1. A pixel, comprising:

a first transistor having a gate electrode connected to a first node;

a second transistor connected between a data line and the gate electrode of the first transistor, the second transistor having a gate electrode connected to a first scan line;

a third transistor connected between a second electrode of the first transistor and an initialization power supply, the third transistor having a gate electrode connected to a second scan line different from the first scan line;

a fourth transistor having a first electrode connected to a reference power supply and a second electrode connected to the first node, the fourth transistor having a gate electrode connected to a third scan line different from the first scan line and the second scan line;

a first capacitor connected between a first driving power supply and the second electrode of the first transistor;

a light emitting diode connected to the third transistor and a second driving power supply different from the initialization power supply; and

a parasitic capacitor of the light emitting diode, the parasitic capacitor connected between the first capacitor and the second driving power supply,

wherein the first transistor is to control an amount of current flowing from the first driving power supply to the light emitting diode, and

wherein the first capacitor and the parasitic capacitor are connected in series.

2. The pixel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and second transistors are of a same conductivity type.

3. The pixel as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first and second transistors are n-type transistors.
