Patent ID: 8031140

Claim:
A pixel circuit of a display device for realizing a certain color during a display period of time comprising: at least two light emitting elements, each said light emitting element for emitting a corresponding one of colors during the display period of time; and an active element commonly connected to the at least two light emitting elements to drive the at least two light emitting elements in response to at least one emission control signal, wherein the active element time-divisionally drives the at least two light emitting elements by utilizing the at least one emission control signal during the display period of time, such that one said light emitting element emits the corresponding one of the colors per a sub display period of time in response to the at least one emission control signal, wherein a total number of emission control signals utilized by the active element of the pixel circuit is less than a total number of light emitting elements in the pixel circuit configured to be driven by said active element, and wherein the at least two light emitting elements realize the certain color in the display period of time by time-divisionally emitting the corresponding ones of the colors.
