Patent ID: 8427403

Claim:
A display apparatus comprising: a data driver for outputting data currents as image signals; a plurality of data lines for transmitting the data currents; a plurality of scan lines configured to transmit selection signals; a demultiplexer configured to time-divisionally demultiplex the data currents, to transmit demultiplexed data currents alternately to two adjacent ones of a plurality of demultiplexed data lines; a plurality of pixel circuits coupled to the demultiplexed data lines, and the scan lines, each of the pixel circuits comprising a driving circuit configured to provide a driving current corresponding to a respective one of the demultiplexed data currents; and a common current source connected to at least one of the data lines and configured to provide the data currents for programming at least one of the pixel circuits to drive two adjacent ones of light emitting elements in a same row corresponding to a same one of the scan lines, wherein the demultiplexed data currents on the two adjacent ones of the demultiplexed data lines are provided, in a first field, to one of the pixel circuits coupled to both a first one of the two adjacent ones of the demultiplexed data lines and one of the plurality of scan lines and one of the pixel circuits coupled to both a second one of the two adjacent ones of the demultiplexed data lines and a next one of the plurality of scan lines, and in a second field, to one of the pixel circuits coupled to both the second one of the two adjacent ones of the demultiplexed data lines and the one of the plurality of scan lines and one of the pixel circuits coupled to both the first one of the two adjacent ones of the demultiplexed data lines and the next one of the plurality of scan lines, such that for a duration of one of the selection signals on the one of the plurality of scan lines, only one of the two adjacent ones of the plurality of demultiplexed data lines receives a respective one of the demultiplexed data currents.
