Abstract

The invention provides a method of repairing the pixel structure, and the method includes the following. First, an electrical connection between the current control unit and the power line is cut. The power line is then electrically connected to the redundant active device, so that the current control unit and the redundant active device control the current provided by the power line. The invention provides a method of repairing the organic electro-luminescence display unit, suitable for repairing the above-mentioned organic electro-luminescence display unit, and the method includes the following. First, an electrical connection between the current control unit and the power line is cut. The power line is electrically connected to the redundant active device, so that the current control unit and the redundant active device control the current passing through the organic electro-luminescence layer.
