Patent ID: 8395564

Claim:
A display device comprising: a display area comprising a plurality of data lines for transmitting data signals for displaying an image, a plurality of first scan lines for transmitting selection signals, a plurality of second scan lines and a plurality of third scan lines for respectively transmitting first and second emission signals, and a plurality of pixels respectively at a plurality of pixel areas defined by the data lines and the first scan lines, wherein one of the pixel areas comprises a first pixel and a second pixel of the plurality of pixels, the first pixel and the second pixel coupled to one of the data lines and one of the first scan lines, a driving circuit coupled to the first pixel and the second pixel for outputting an output current corresponding to at least one of the data signals, and another one of the pixel areas adjacent to the one of the pixel areas comprising a third pixel and a fourth pixel of the plurality of pixels, the third pixel and the fourth pixel coupled to the one of the data lines; a first driver for transmitting the selection signals to the one of the first scan lines in a plurality of fields forming a frame; a second driver for transmitting at least one of the first emission signals to one of the second scan lines to emit the first pixel in a first field of the plurality of fields; and a third driver for transmitting at least one of the second emission signals to one of the third scan lines to emit the second pixel in a second field of the plurality of fields, wherein the first and third pixels are at a first side of the one of the data lines and the second and fourth pixels are at a second side of the one of the data lines, wherein the first and fourth pixels are configured to emit in the first field, and the second and third pixels are configured to emit in the second field, and wherein each of the plurality of pixels comprises an emitter configured to emit light corresponding to the output current, and wherein one of the pixel areas comprises a first switch configured to be controlled by a corresponding one of the first emission signals and a second switch configured to be controlled by a corresponding one of the second emission signals to apply the output current of the driving circuit to the emitter, and the switches of a same one of the pixel areas are configured to be alternately turned on.
