Abstract

An emissive display device includes a display area which includes a plurality of pixels, and a driver disposed at a side of the display area, where the driver includes at least two emission signal stages disposed in one row, and an input signal line connected to the emission signal stages, and the at least two emission signal stages are connected to the same input signal line.

Claims (65)

1 . An emissive display device comprising:

a scan line extending in a row direction;

a display area which includes a plurality of pixels; and

a driver disposed at a side of the display area, the driver including:

two scan signal stages disposed in the row direction; and

an input signal line commonly connected to the two scan signal stages, disposed between the two scan signal stages, and extending in a column direction perpendicular to the row direction,

wherein the two scan signal stages are respectively included in a first scan signal generator generating a first scan signal and a second scan signal generator generating a second scan signal, and

the first scan signal and the second scan signal have different numbers of voltage changes during a single frame.

2 . The emissive display device of claim 1 , wherein

the input signal line commonly connected to the two scan signal stages is provided in plural, and

a plurality of input signal lines includes a pair of clock signal lines.

3 . The emissive display device of claim 2 , wherein

the pair of clock signal lines is disposed between the two scan signal stages.

4 . The emissive display device of claim 3 , wherein

the input signal line further includes a high voltage wire or a low voltage wire.

5 . The emissive display device of claim 4 , wherein

the pair of clock signal lines or the low voltage wire is disposed between the two scan signal stages.

6 . The emissive display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first scan signal has a low voltage once per frame, and

the second scan signal has a low voltage three times per frame.

7 . An emissive display device comprising:

a scan line extending in a row direction;

a display area which includes a plurality of pixels; and

a driver disposed at a side of the display area, the driver including:

two scan signal stages disposed in the row direction; and

an input signal line commonly connected to the two scan signal stages, disposed between the two scan signal stages, and extending in a column direction perpendicular to the row direction, wherein

the input signal line commonly connected to the two scan signal stages is provided in plural,

a plurality of input signal lines includes a pair of clock signal lines,

the pair of clock signal lines is disposed between the two scan signal stages,

the two scan signal stages are respectively included in a first scan signal generator and a second scan signal generator, and

the driver is disposed only at a singular side of the display area.

8 . The emissive display device of claim 7 , wherein the driver further includes:

at least two emission signal stages which are disposed in at least two columns, respectively; and

another input signal line connected to the at least two emission signal stages.

9 . The emissive display device of claim 8 , wherein

the at least two emission signal stages disposed in the at least two columns, respectively, are connected to the another input signal line, and

wherein the at least two emission signal stages are disposed in a horizontal direction in which the driver is adjacent to the display area and are arranged on opposite sides of an extending direction of the another input signal line substantially perpendicular to the horizontal direction.

10 . The emissive display device of claim 8 , wherein

the at least two emission signal stages are included in at least two of a first emission control signal generator, a second emission control signal generator, an initialization control signal generator, and a bias control signal generator.

11 . The emissive display device of claim 10 , wherein

the at least two emission signal stages which share the pair of clock signal lines receive different start signals.

12 . The emissive display device of claim 10 , wherein

a pixel circuit unit of the display area receives a first emission control signal generated by the first emission control signal generator, a second light emission control signal generated by the second emission control signal generator, a first initialization control signal and a second initialization control signal generated by the initialization control signal generator, a bias control signal generated by the bias control signal generator, a first scan signal generated by the first scan signal generator, and a second scan signal generated by the second scan signal generator.

13 . The emissive display device of claim 12 , wherein

an emission signal stage of the at least two emission signal stages in the initialization control signal generator generating the first initialization control signal is disposed in front of the emission signal stage in an initialization control signal generator of the at least two emission signal stages that generates the second initialization control signal.

14 . An electronic device comprising:

an emissive display device comprising:

a scan line extending in a row direction;

a display area which includes a plurality of pixels; and

a driver disposed at a side of the display area, the driver including:

two scan signal stages disposed in the row direction; and

an input signal line commonly connected to the two scan signal stages, disposed between the two scan signal stages, and extending in a column direction perpendicular to the row direction,

wherein the two scan signal stages are respectively included in a first scan signal generator generating a first scan signal and a second scan signal generator generating a second scan signal, and

the first scan signal and the second scan signal have different numbers of voltage changes during a single frame.

15 . The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein

the input signal line commonly connected to the two scan signal stages is provided in plural, and

a plurality of input signal lines includes a pair of clock signal lines.

16 . The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein

the input signal line further includes a high voltage wire or a low voltage wire, and

the pair of clock signal lines or the low voltage wire is disposed between the two scan signal stages.

17 . The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein

the first scan signal has a low voltage once per frame, and

the second scan signal has a low voltage three times per frame.

18 . The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein

the driver is disposed only at a singular side of the display area.
