Abstract

A display panel is provided. The display panel includes multiple emission circuits, multiple emission control circuits, multiple pixel circuits, and multiple emission control lines. The emission circuit receives multiple clock signals to provide multiple emission signals. The emission control circuit receives one of the emission signals and receives multiple emission control signals to provide multiple pixel emission signals based on the received emission signal and the emission control signals. The pixel circuits are arranged in an array. The emission control lines are respectively coupled to one of the emission control circuits and pixel circuits of a same color among the pixel circuits in a row to transmit a corresponding one of the pixel emission signals to the coupled pixel circuits.
