The first detection signal RST is output from the second terminal of the first transistor T1 to the control terminal Vg of the driving transistor TD2 to control the voltage level of the control terminal Vg of the driving transistor TD2 to be at the turn-off voltage level.

另一方面,如第4圖所示,在第一偵測期間P1中,第二偵測電路164的第二電晶體T2相應於讀取訊號RD導通,發光元件LED相應於第二電晶體T2輸出的第二偵測訊號SEN導通,並提供第二感測參數D2至該資料線Dn,使得資料訊號DATA相應於第二感測參數D2進行調整。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, in the first detection period P1, the second transistor T2 of the second detection circuit 164 is turned on corresponding to the read signal RD, and the light emitting element LED corresponds to the second transistor T2 The output second detection signal SEN is turned on and provides the second sensing parameter D2 to the data line Dn, so that the data signal DATA is adjusted corresponding to the second sensing parameter D2.

具體而言,由第二電晶體T2之控制端接收高準位的讀取訊號RD而導通。由第二電晶體T2之第一端自資料線Dn接收第二偵測訊號SEN。由第二電晶體T2之第二端輸出第二偵測訊號SEN至驅動電晶體TD2之源極端Vs和發光元件LED之第一端。由第二電晶體T2根據第二偵測訊號SEN控制驅動電晶體TD2之源極端Vs和發光元件LED之第一端的電壓準位於發光電壓準位,以自發光元件LED取得第二感測參數D2。 Specifically, the control terminal of the second transistor T2 receives the high-level read signal RD and turns on. The second detection signal SEN is received from the data line Dn by the first end of the second transistor T2. The second detection signal SEN is output from the second end of the second transistor T2 to the source terminal Vs of the driving transistor TD2 and the first end of the light emitting element LED. The second transistor T2 controls the source terminal Vs of the driving transistor TD2 and the voltage of the first end of the light emitting element LED to be at the light emitting voltage level according to the second detection signal SEN, so as to obtain the second sensing parameter from the light emitting element LED D2.

在部分實施例中,第二偵測訊號SEN可為漸進增加電壓準位的訊號。舉例來說,先輸入約1伏特的輸入電壓偵 測驅動電流I1為多少,再逐漸增加輸入的電壓並持續偵測驅動電流I1,直到驅動電流I1達到預計所需的安培數。或者,假設輸入約1伏特的電壓時,預計量測到應約為1安培的驅動電流I1,但實際量測到約為1.2安培的驅動電流,則將減少輸入的電壓以進行補償,使得驅動電流I1維持約為1安培。 In some embodiments, the second detection signal SEN may be a signal that gradually increases the voltage level. For example, first input an input voltage of about 1 volt to detect Measure the drive current I1, then gradually increase the input voltage and continue to detect the drive current I1 until the drive current I1 reaches the expected required amperage. Or, assuming that when a voltage of about 1 volt is input, it is expected that the measured driving current I1 should be about 1 ampere, but the actual measured driving current is about 1.2 amperes, the input voltage will be reduced to compensate, so that the drive The current I1 is maintained at about 1 amp.

在其他部分實施例中,第二偵測訊號SEN可為定電流。例如,由第二偵測電路164輸入固定電流並偵測電壓值以取得發光元件LED的變異程度。據此,可藉由回傳感測訊號以修正訊號,使得各個發光元件的亮度保持一致。 In some other embodiments, the second detection signal SEN may be a constant current. For example, the second detection circuit 164 inputs a fixed current and detects the voltage value to obtain the variation degree of the light emitting element LED. According to this, the signal can be corrected by sensing the signal back, so that the brightness of each light-emitting element remains consistent.

在部分實施例中,如第3圖所示,在第二偵測期間P2中,掃描訊號S1維持低準位,讀取訊號RD維持高準位。另外,第一偵測訊號RST轉為導通電壓準位,第二偵測訊號SEN轉為截止電壓準位。 In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, in the second detection period P2, the scan signal S1 maintains a low level, and the read signal RD maintains a high level. In addition, the first detection signal RST is turned to the on voltage level, and the second detection signal SEN is turned to the off voltage level.

如第5圖所示,在第一偵測期間P2中,由資料電晶體TD1之控制端接收低準位的掃描訊號S1而關斷。換言之,在第二偵測期間P2中,資料電晶體TD1之第二端不會輸出資料訊號至驅動電晶體TD2的控制端Vg。 As shown in FIG. 5, in the first detection period P2, the control terminal of the data transistor TD1 receives the low-level scan signal S1 and turns off. In other words, during the second detection period P2, the second terminal of the data transistor TD1 does not output a data signal to the control terminal Vg of the driving transistor TD2.

另外,如第5圖所示,在第二偵測期間P2中,由第一偵測電路163的第一電晶體T1相應於讀取訊號RD導通,驅動電晶體TD2相應於第一偵測訊號RST導通,並提供第一感測參數D1至資料線Dn,使得資料訊號DATA相應於第一感測 參數D1進行調整。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, in the second detection period P2, the first transistor T1 of the first detection circuit 163 is turned on corresponding to the read signal RD, and the driving transistor TD2 corresponds to the first detection signal RST is turned on and provides the first sensing parameter D1 to the data line Dn, so that the data signal DATA corresponds to the first sensing Adjust the parameter D1.

The first detection signal RST is received by the first end of the first transistor T1. The first detection signal RST is output from the second terminal of the first transistor T1 to the control terminal Vg of the driving transistor TD2 to control the voltage level of the control terminal Vg of the driving transistor TD2. The voltage level of the control terminal Vg of the driving transistor TD2 is controlled by the first transistor T1 according to the first detection signal RST to be at the turn-on voltage level to obtain the first sensing parameter D1 from the driving transistor TD2.

Specifically, the control terminal of the second transistor T2 receives the high-level read signal RD and turns on. The second detection signal SEN is received from the data line Dn by the first end of the second transistor T2. The second detection signal SEN is output from the second end of the second transistor T2 to the source terminal Vs of the driving transistor TD2 and the first end of the light emitting element LED. The second transistor T2 controls the source terminal Vs of the driving transistor TD2 and the voltage of the first end of the light-emitting element LED to be at the cut-off voltage level according to the second detection signal SEN to cut off the light-emitting element LED.

據此,可藉由第一偵測電路163輸入不同大小的訊號時偵測驅動電晶體TD2的電流,以取得驅動電晶體TD2的變異程度,再回傳感測訊號以修正訊號,使得各個驅動電晶體TD2產生的驅動電流I1保持一致。 According to this, the current of the driving transistor TD2 can be detected when the signals of different sizes are input by the first detection circuit 163 to obtain the degree of variation of the driving transistor TD2, and then the sensing signal is returned to correct the signal, so that each driving The driving current I1 generated by the transistor TD2 remains the same.

In addition, both the first detection signal RST and the second detection signal SEN are floating voltage levels.
