Abstract

A pixel including a light emitting device, a first transistor including a first electrode connected to a first node electrically connected to a first power source, a second transistor connected between a data line and the first node and turned on in response to a first scan signal supplied to a first scan line, a third transistor connected between a third node connected to a second electrode of the first transistor and a second node and turned on in response to a second scan signal supplied to a second scan line, a fourth transistor turned on in response to a third scan signal, and a storage capacitor connected between the first power source and the second node, in which the second scan signal overlaps the first scan signal, and a width of the second scan signal is greater than twice a width of the first scan signal.

Claims (28)

1. A pixel comprising:

a light emitting device;

a first transistor including a first electrode connected to a first node electrically connected to a first power source, and configured to control a driving current flowing through the light emitting device based on a voltage of a second node;

a second transistor connected between a data line and the first node, and configured to be turned on in response to a first scan signal supplied to a first scan line;

a third transistor connected between a third node connected to a second electrode of the first transistor and the second node, and configured to be turned on in response to a second scan signal supplied to a second scan line;

a fourth transistor configured to be turned on in response to a third scan signal supplied to a third scan line to supply a bias voltage to the first node; and

a storage capacitor connected between the first power source and the second node,

wherein the second scan signal overlaps the first scan signal, and a width of the second scan signal is greater than twice a width of the first scan signal.

2. The pixel of claim 1 , wherein the second transistor is turned on for one horizontal period, and

the fourth transistor is turned on for two or more horizontal periods.

3. The pixel of claim 2 , wherein the fourth transistor is turned on for at least one horizontal period before the second transistor is turned on.

4. The pixel of claim 1 , wherein the second transistor is configured to be turned on in response to an i th (i is a natural number of two or more) first scan signal supplied to an i th first scan line, and

the second scan signal overlaps the i th first scan signal and an (i−1) th first scan signal.

5. The pixel of claim 4 , wherein the third transistor is configured to be turned on between a first bias period and a second bias period, and

both the (i−1) th first scan signal and the i th first scan signal are supplied between the first bias period and the second bias period.

6. The pixel of claim 5 , wherein the fourth transistor is turned on during the first bias period and the second bias period.

7. The pixel of claim 4 , further comprising:

a seventh transistor connected between the third node and an initialization power source, and configured to be turned on in response to the (i−1) th first scan signal supplied to an (i−1) th first scan line.

8. The pixel of claim 7 , wherein the fourth transistor is turned on for at least one horizontal period before the second transistor is turned on, and the seventh transistor is turned on during a period overlapping with the at least one horizontal period.

9. The pixel of claim 7 , wherein the seventh transistor is connected to a first initialization power source, and

the pixel further comprises:

an eighth transistor connected between a first electrode of the light emitting device and a second initialization power source, and configured to be turned on by the third scan signal supplied to the third scan line.

10. The pixel of claim 9 , wherein the first initialization power source is the same as the second initialization power source.

11. The pixel of claim 1 , further comprising:

a fifth transistor connected between the first power source and the first node, and configured to be turned off in response to an emission control signal supplied to an emission control line, and

a sixth transistor connected between the third node and a first electrode of the light emitting device, and configured to be turned off in response to the emission control signal.

12. The pixel of claim 1 , wherein the third transistor includes an oxide semiconductor layer.

13. The pixel of claim 1 , wherein the third transistor is a poly-silicon semiconductor transistor.
