The patent application (Publication Number: US20240038172A1) describes a display device with a unique pixel circuit that can vary the refresh rate of electroluminescent devices within each pixel. The device includes a scan driver and a light emission signal driver on opposite sides of the display panel. The pixel circuit within each pixel includes components such as driving transistors, switching transistors, and light emission control transistors to control the refresh rate and light emission of the electroluminescent device.

Furthermore, the pixel circuit includes bias transistors, capacitors, compensation transistors, and data supply transistors to ensure proper functioning and control of the electroluminescent device. The light emission signal driver is responsible for adjusting the duty ratio of the light emitting signal based on the refresh rate. Additionally, the patent application details the dynamic control of bias voltages during switching between different refresh rates to optimize performance. Overall, the display device described in the patent application offers a novel approach to controlling refresh rates and light emission in electroluminescent displays, potentially leading to improved display quality and efficiency.
