Abstract
A driving circuit for a light emitting device is suitable for use in an active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) display, which has a scanning line to be input with a scanning clock signal, so as to control the driving circuit. The driving circuit includes a driving circuit main part which includes a light emitting device driven by a driving transistor as well as a scan line connection terminal and a data line connection terminal. The scan line connection terminal receives a scanning clock signal. A first transistor has a gate connected to this scan line connection terminal, a source. connected to the data line connection terminal, and a drain connected to a gate electrode of the driving transistor. A second transistor has a gate electrode connected to the scan line connection terminal, a source connected to a common voltage, and a drain connected to an anode of the light emitting device. The common voltage has a high voltage level and a low voltage level, alternating by a frequency, wherein the high voltage level of the common voltage is higher than a system low voltage and the low voltage level is smaller than the system low voltage. When the first transistor and the second transistor are simultaneously activated by the scanning clock signal, the data line can be input with an image digital data voltage or a negative turning-off voltage. When the common voltage is at the low voltage level, the turning-off voltage is input, so as to turn off the driving transistor and the light emitting device.
