FIG. 2 is a timing diagram of related voltages and signals according to the embodiment of FIG. 1 of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, as shown as FIG. 2, the electronic device 100 may perform a bias operation, a reset operation, a scan operation and a sense operation during a bias period BP, a reset period RP, a scan period SP and a sense period SEP. In the reset period RP from time t1 to time t2, the reset signal RS may be at a high voltage level, and the bias signal BS, the scan signal SS and the sense signal SE may be at a low voltage level. Thus, the third transistor T3 and the reset transistor Tr are turned-on. The voltage Td_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the drive transistor Td may be reset to the first operation voltage VDD, and the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be reset to the first operation voltage VDD.

In the scan period SP from time t3 to time t4, the scan signal SS may be at the high voltage level, and the bias signal BS, the reset signal RS and the sense signal SE may be at the low voltage level. Thus, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the sixth transistor T6, the drive transistor Td, the scan transistor Ts and the compensation transistor Tc are turned-on. The sixth transistor T6 provides the control data signal DS from the control data line DL1 to the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1, so the voltage T1_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the data voltage Vdata. The first transistor T1 may be turned-on by the first operation voltage VDD reset in the reset period RP, and the second transistor T2 turned-on by the scan signal SS, so the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata plus a threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1. The scan transistor Ts provides the control data signal DS from the control data line DL1 to the second terminal (source terminal) of the drive transistor Td, so the voltage Td_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the drive transistor Td may be the data voltage Vdata. The drive transistor Td may be turned-on by the first operation voltage VDD reset in the reset period RP, and the compensation transistor Tc turned-on by the scan signal SS, so the voltage Ts_Vg of the control terminal of the drive transistor Td may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata plus a threshold voltage |Vthd| of the drive transistor Td.

In the bias period BP from time t5 to time t8 (and before time t0), the bias signal BS may be at the high voltage level, and the scan signal SS, the reset signal RS and the sense signal SE may be at the low voltage level. Thus, the bias transistor Tb is turned-on. The bias transistor Tb may provide the first operation voltage VDD to the first terminal (drain terminal) of the drive transistor Td, and the voltage Td_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the drive transistor Td may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata plus a threshold voltage |Vthd| of the drive transistor Td provided by the storage capacitor Cst, so that the drive transistor Td is turned-on to drive the electronic component 120, and the threshold voltage |Vthd| of the drive transistor Td may be compensated. A leak current If may be generated, and the leak current If flows from the sensing node N1 to the second operation voltage VSS through the electronic component 120. When the current balance state is occurred, the drive transistor Td may be fixed to provide a compensation current Ic to the sensing node N1 to compensate the leak current If, so the voltage Td_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the drive transistor Td may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata minus a voltage dV caused by the compensation current Ic. Moreover, the capacitor C1 may couple the voltage of the sensing node N1 to the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1. The voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata plus a threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1 provided by the capacitor C1 and minus the voltage dV coupled by the capacitor C1. The threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1 may be compensated, so that the voltage T1_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata minus the voltage dV.

In the sense period SEP from time t6 to time t7, the sense signal SE may be changed to the high voltage level. The sense period SEP may be simultaneously operated during the bias period BP. Thus, the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned-on. The fifth transistor T5 provides the first operation voltage VDD to the first transistor T1, and the first transistor T1 generates a pull-up current Ipu corresponding to the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1. The fourth transistor T4 transfers the voltage T1_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 to the sense date line DL2. It should be noted that the voltage T1_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 is equal to the voltage of the sensing node N1 (ie, the voltage Td_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the drive transistor Td), and the voltage of the sensing node N1 corresponds to the leak current If flowing through the electronic component 120. That is, the read-out circuit 140 may receive the sense data signal SD from the sense date line DL2, so as to read-out the voltage of the sensing node N1 for the back-end processing circuit to obtain the driving state (test state) of the electronic component 120 by voltage mode, and further obtain the test result of the electronic component 120 by analyzing the voltage read-out result by the back-end processing circuit. Therefore, the electronic device 100 may effectively perform the test operation of the electronic component 120, and effectively read-out the test result of the electronic component 120 for realizing the calibration of the electronic component 120.

In the reset period RP from time t1 to time t2, the reset signal RS may be at a high voltage level, and the bias signal BS, the scan signal SS and the sense signal SE may be at a low voltage level. Thus, the third transistor T3 and the reset transistor Tr are turned-on. The voltage Td_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the drive transistor Td may be reset to the first operation voltage VDD, and the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be reset to the second operation voltage VSS.

In the scan period SP from time t3 to time t4, the scan signal SS may be at the high voltage level, and the bias signal BS, the reset signal RS and the sense signal SE may be at the low voltage level. Thus, the second transistor T2, the sixth transistor T6, the drive transistor Td, the scan transistor Ts and the compensation transistor Tc are turned-on. The sixth transistor T6 provides the control data signal DS from the control data line DL1 to the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1, so the voltage T1_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the data voltage Vdata. The first transistor T1 may be turned-on by the second operation voltage VSS reset in the reset period RP, and the second transistor T2 turned-on by the scan signal SS, so the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata minus a threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1. The scan transistor Ts provides the control data signal DS from the control data line DL1 to the second terminal (source terminal) of the drive transistor Td, so the voltage Td_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the drive transistor Td may be the data voltage Vdata.

FIG. 6 is a timing diagram of related voltages and signals according to the embodiment of FIG. 5 of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, as shown as FIG. 6, the electronic device 500 may perform a bias operation, a reset operation, a scan operation and a sense operation during a bias period BP, a reset period RP, a scan period SP and a sense period SEP. In the reset period RP from time t1 to time t2, the reset signal RS may be at a high voltage level, and the bias signal BS, the scan signal SS and the sense signal SE may be at a low voltage level. Thus, the third transistor T3 and the reset transistor Tr are turned-on. The voltage Td_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the drive transistor Td may be reset to the first operation voltage VDD, and the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be reset to the first operation voltage VDD.

In the scan period SP from time t3 to time t4, the scan signal SS may be at the high voltage level, and the bias signal BS, the reset signal RS and the sense signal SE may be at the low voltage level. Thus, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the sixth transistor T6, the drive transistor Td, the scan transistor Ts and the compensation transistor Tc are turned-on. The sixth transistor T6 provides the control data signal DS from the control data line DL1 to the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1, so the voltage of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the data voltage Vdata. The first transistor T1 may be turned-on by the first operation voltage VDD reset in the reset period RP, and the second transistor T2 turned-on by the scan signal SS, so the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata plus a threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1. The scan transistor Ts provides the control data signal DS from the control data line DL1 to the second terminal (source terminal) of the drive transistor Td, so the voltage Td_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the drive transistor Td may be the data voltage Vdata. The drive transistor Td may be turned-on by the first operation voltage VDD reset in the reset period RP, and the compensation transistor Tc turned-on by the scan signal SS, so the voltage Td_Vg of the control terminal of the drive transistor Td may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata plus a threshold voltage |Vthd| of the drive transistor Td.

In the bias period BP from time t5 to time t8 (and before time t0), the bias signal BS may be at the high voltage level, and the scan signal SS, the reset signal RS and the sense signal SE may be at the low voltage level. Thus, the bias transistor Tb is turned-on. The bias transistor Tb may provide the first operation voltage VDD to the first terminal (drain terminal) of the drive transistor Td, and the voltage Td_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the drive transistor Td may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata plus a threshold voltage |Vthd| of the drive transistor Td provided by the storage capacitor Cst, so that the drive transistor Td is turned-on to drive the electronic component 520, and the threshold voltage |Vthd| of the drive transistor Td may be compensated. A leak current If may be generated, and the leak current If flows from the sensing node N1 to the second operation voltage VSS through the electronic component 520. When the current balance state is occurred, the drive transistor Td may be fixed to provide a compensation current Ic to the sensing node N1 to compensate the leak current If, so the voltage Td_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the drive transistor Td may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata minus a voltage dV caused by the compensation current Ic. Moreover, the capacitor C1 may couple the voltage of the sensing node N1 to the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1. The voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata plus a threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1 provided by the capacitor C1 and minus the voltage dV coupled by the capacitor C1. The threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1 may be compensated, so that the first transistor T1 may generate a current corresponding to the voltage of the data voltage Vdata minus the voltage dV.

In the sense period SEP from time t6 to time t7, the sense signal SE may be changed to the high voltage level. The sense period SEP may be simultaneously operated during the bias period BP. Thus, the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned-on. The fifth transistor T5 provides the second operation voltage VSS to the first transistor T1, and the first transistor T1 generates a sink current Ik corresponding to the voltage of the data voltage Vdata minus the voltage dV. The fourth transistor T4 transfers the sink current Ik to the sense date line DL2. It should be noted that the sink current Ik corresponds to the voltage of the sensing node N1 (ie, the voltage Td_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the drive transistor Td), and the voltage of the sensing node N1 corresponds to the leak current If flowing through the electronic component 520. The first input terminal of the read-out circuit 540 may receive the sense data signal SD with the sink current Ik from the sense date line DL2, and output an output voltage Vout by integrating the sink current Ik. Thus, the output voltage Vout may rise from a low voltage level of an initial voltage Vinit to a high voltage level. That is, the read-out circuit 540 may receive the sense data signal SD with the sink current Ik from the sense date line DL2, so as to read-out the voltage of the sensing node N1 for the back-end processing circuit to obtain the driving state (test state) of the electronic component 520 by current mode (ie, the sink current Ik is converted to voltage by the charge integrator), and further obtain the test result of the electronic component 520 by analyzing the read-out result of the sink current Ik by the back-end processing circuit. Therefore, the electronic device 500 may effectively perform the test operation of the electronic component 520, and effectively read-out the test result of the electronic component 520 for realizing the calibration of the electronic component 520.

FIG. 8 is a timing diagram of related voltages and signals according to the embodiment of FIG. 7 of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, as shown as FIG. 8, the electronic device 700 may perform a bias operation, a reset operation, a scan operation and a sense operation during a bias period BP, a reset period RP, a scan period SP and a sense period SEP. In the reset period RP from time t1 to time t2, the reset signal RS may be at a high voltage level, and the bias signal BS, the scan signal SS and the sense signal SE may be at a low voltage level. Thus, the third transistor T3 and the reset transistor Tr are turned-on. The voltage Td_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the drive transistor Td may be reset to the first operation voltage VDD, and the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be reset to the second operation voltage VSS.

In the scan period SP from time t3 to time t4, the scan signal SS may be at the high voltage level, and the bias signal BS, the reset signal RS and the sense signal SE may be at the low voltage level. Thus, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the sixth transistor T6, the drive transistor Td, the scan transistor Ts and the compensation transistor Tc are turned-on. The sixth transistor T6 provides the control data signal DS from the control data line DL1 to the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1, so the voltage of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the data voltage Vdata. The first transistor T1 may be turned-on by the second operation voltage VSS reset in the reset period RP, and the second transistor T2 turned-on by the scan signal SS, so the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata minus a threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1. The scan transistor Ts provides the control data signal DS from the control data line DL1 to the second terminal (source terminal) of the drive transistor Td, so the voltage Td_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the drive transistor Td may be the data voltage Vdata. The drive transistor Td may be turned-on by the first operation voltage VDD reset in the reset period RP, and the compensation transistor Tc turned-on by the scan signal SS, so the voltage Td_Vg of the control terminal of the drive transistor Td may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata plus a threshold voltage |Vthd| of the drive transistor Td.

In the bias period BP from time t5 to time t8 (and before time t0), the bias signal BS may be at the high voltage level, and the scan signal SS, the reset signal RS and the sense signal SE may be at the low voltage level. Thus, the bias transistor Tb is turned-on. The bias transistor Tb may provide the first operation voltage VDD to the first terminal (drain terminal) of the drive transistor Td, and the voltage Td_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the drive transistor Td may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata plus a threshold voltage |Vthd| of the drive transistor Td provided by the storage capacitor Cst, so that the drive transistor Td is turned-on to drive the electronic component 720, and the threshold voltage |Vthd| of the drive transistor Td may be compensated. A leak current If may be generated, and the leak current If flows from the sensing node N1 to the second operation voltage VSS through the electronic component 720. When the current balance state is occurred, the drive transistor Td may be fixed to provide a compensation current Ic to the sensing node N1 to compensate the leak current If, so the voltage Td_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the drive transistor Td may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata minus a voltage dV caused by the compensation current Ic. Moreover, the capacitor C1 may couple the voltage of the sensing node N1 to the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1. The voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the data voltage Vdata minus a threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1 provided by the capacitor C1 and minus the voltage dV coupled by the capacitor C1. The threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1 may be compensated, so that the first transistor T1 may generate a current corresponding to the voltage of the data voltage Vdata minus the voltage dV.

In the sense period SEP from time t6 to time t7, the sense signal SE may be changed to the high voltage level. The sense period SEP may be simultaneously operated during the bias period BP. Thus, the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned-on. The fifth transistor T5 provides the first operation voltage VDD to the first transistor T1, and the first transistor T1 generates a source current Is corresponding to the voltage of the data voltage Vdata minus the voltage dV. The fourth transistor T4 transfers the source current Is to the sense date line DL2. It should be noted that the source current Is corresponds to the voltage of the sensing node N1 (ie, the voltage Td_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the drive transistor Td), and the voltage of the sensing node N1 corresponds to the leak current If flowing through the electronic component 720. The first input terminal of the read-out circuit 740 may receive the sense data signal SD with the source current Is from the sense date line DL2, and output an output voltage Vout by integrating the source current Is. Thus, the output voltage Vout may drop from a high voltage level of an initial voltage Vinit to a low voltage level. That is, the read-out circuit 740 may receive the sense data signal SD with the source current Is from the sense date line DL2, so as to read-out the voltage of the sensing node N1 for the back-end processing circuit to obtain the driving state (test state) of the electronic component 720 by current mode (ie, the source current Is is converted to voltage by the charge integrator), and further obtain the test result of the electronic component 720 by analyzing the read-out result of the source current Is by the back-end processing circuit. Therefore, the electronic device 700 may effectively perform the test operation of the electronic component 720, and effectively read-out the test result of the electronic component 720 for realizing the calibration of the electronic component 720.

FIG. 12 is a timing diagram of related voltages and signals according to the embodiment of FIG. 11 of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, as shown as FIG. 12, the electronic device 1100 may perform a preset operation, a reset operation, an expose operation and a sense operation during a preset period PP, a reset period RP, an expose period EP and a sense period SEP. In the preset period PP from time to to time t1, the preset signal PS may be at a high voltage level, and the reset signal RS and the sense signal SE may be at a low voltage level. Thus, the third transistor T3 is turned-on. The voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be preset to the operation voltage V1. The voltage of the sensing node N1 may be the operation voltage V2 (electronic component 1120 has not yet worked).

In the reset period RP from time t2 to time t3, the reset signal RS may be at the high voltage level, and the preset signal PS and the sense signal SE may be at the low voltage level. Thus, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the sixth transistor T6 and the reset transistor Tr are turned-on. The sixth transistor T6 provides the operation voltage V3 to the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1, so the voltage T1_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the operation voltage V3. The first transistor T1 may be turned-on by the first operation voltage V1 preset in the preset period PP, and the second transistor T2 turned-on by the reset signal RS, so the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the operation voltage V3 plus a threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1. The voltage of the sensing node N1 may be reset to the operation voltage V3 (electronic component 1120 has not yet worked) by the reset transistor Tr.

In the expose period EP from time t4 to time t5, the reset signal RS, the preset signal PS and the sense signal SE may be at the low voltage level, respectively. The electronic component 1120 may perform the exposure operation to generate a leak current Ir. Thus, the voltage of the sensing node N1 may rise from the operation voltage V3 according to the voltage dV1 caused by the leak current Ir. The voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) and the voltage T1_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 may also rise synchronously.

In the sense period SEP from time t6 to time t7, the sense signal SE may be changed to the high voltage level, and the preset signal PS and the reset signal RS may be at the low voltage level. Thus, the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned-on. The fifth transistor T5 provides the first operation voltage V1 to the first transistor T1, and the first transistor T1 generates a source current Is corresponding to the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1. The fourth transistor T4 transfers the voltage T1_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 to the sense date line DL. The capacitor C1 may couple the voltage of the sensing node N1 to the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1. The voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the operation voltage V3 plus the threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1 provided by the capacitor C1 and plus the voltage dV1 coupled by the capacitor C1. The threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1 may be compensated, so that the voltage T1_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the operation voltage V3 plus the voltage dV1 and minus a voltage dV2 caused by the bias current of the bias current source 1142. That is, the read-out circuit 1140 may receive the sense data signal SD from the sense date line DL, so as to read-out the voltage of the sensing node N1 for the back-end processing circuit to obtain the sensing state of the electronic component 1120 by voltage mode, and further obtain the sensing result of the electronic component 1120 by analyzing the voltage read-out result by the back-end processing circuit. Therefore, the electronic device 1100 may effectively perform the sensing operation of the electronic component 1120, and effectively read-out the sensing result of the electronic component 1120.

FIG. 14 is a timing diagram of related voltages and signals according to the embodiment of FIG. 13 of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, as shown as FIG. 14, the electronic device 1300 may perform a preset operation, a reset operation, an expose operation and a sense operation during a preset period PP, a reset period RP, an expose period EP and a sense period SEP. In the preset period PP from time to to time t1, the preset signal PS may be at a high voltage level, and the reset signal RS and the sense signal SE may be at a low voltage level. Thus, the third transistor T3 is turned-on. The voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be preset to the operation voltage V3. The voltage of the sensing node N1 may be the operation voltage V2 (electronic component 1320 has not yet worked).

In the reset period RP from time t2 to time t3, the reset signal RS may be at the high voltage level, and the preset signal PS and the sense signal SE may be at the low voltage level. Thus, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the sixth transistor T6 and the reset transistor Tr are turned-on. The sixth transistor T6 provides the operation voltage V1 to the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1, so the voltage T1_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the operation voltage V1. The first transistor T1 may be turned-on by the operation voltage V3 reset in the preset period PP, and the second transistor T2 turned-on by the reset signal RS, so the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the operation voltage V1 minus a threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1. The voltage of the sensing node N1 may be reset to the operation voltage V1 (electronic component 1320 has not yet worked) by the reset transistor Tr.

In the expose period EP from time t4 to time t5, the reset signal RS, the preset signal PS and the sense signal SE may be at the low voltage level, respectively. The electronic component 1320 may perform the exposure operation to generate a leak current Ir. Thus, the voltage of the sensing node N1 may drop from the operation voltage V1 according to the voltage dV1 caused by the leak current Ir. The voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) and the voltage T1_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 may also drop synchronously.

In the sense period SEP from time t6 to time t7, the sense signal SE may be changed to the high voltage level, and the preset signal PS and the reset signal RS may be at the low voltage level. Thus, the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned-on. The fifth transistor T5 provides the operation voltage V3 to the first transistor T1, and the first transistor T1 generates a sink current Ik corresponding to the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1. The fourth transistor T4 transfers the voltage T1_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 to the sense date line DL. The capacitor C1 may couple the voltage of the sensing node N1 to the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1. The voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the operation voltage V1 minus the threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1 provided by the capacitor C1 and minus the voltage dV1 coupled by the capacitor C1. The threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1 may be compensated, so that the voltage T1_Vs of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the operation voltage V1 minus the voltage dV1 and plus a voltage dV2 caused by the bias current of the bias current source 1342. That is, the read-out circuit 1340 may receive the sense data signal SD from the sense date line DL, so as to read-out the voltage of the sensing node N1 for the back-end processing circuit to obtain the sensing state of the electronic component 1320 by voltage mode, and further obtain the sensing result of the electronic component 1320 by analyzing the voltage read-out result by the back-end processing circuit.

FIG. 16 is a timing diagram of related voltages and signals according to the embodiment of FIG. 15 of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, as shown as FIG. 16, the electronic device 1500 may perform a preset operation, a reset operation, an expose operation and a sense operation during a preset period PP, a reset period RP, an expose period EP and a sense period SEP. In the preset period PP from time t0 to time t1, the preset signal PS may be at a high voltage level, and the reset signal RS and the sense signal SE may be at a low voltage level. Thus, the third transistor T3 is turned-on. The voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be preset to the operation voltage V1. The voltage of the sensing node N1 may be the operation voltage V2 (electronic component 1520 has not yet worked).

In the reset period RP from time t2 to time t3, the reset signal RS may be at the high voltage level, and the preset signal PS and the sense signal SE may be at the low voltage level. Thus, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2 and the reset transistor Tr are turned-on. The voltage of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the operation voltage V3. The first transistor T1 may be turned-on by the first operation voltage V1 preset in preset period, and the second transistor T2 turned-on by the reset signal RS, so the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the operation voltage V3 plus a threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1. The voltage of the sensing node N1 may be reset to the operation voltage V3 (electronic component 1520 has not yet worked) by the reset transistor Tr.

In the expose period EP from time t4 to time t5, the reset signal RS, the preset signal PS and the sense signal SE may be at the low voltage level, respectively. The electronic component 1520 may perform the exposure operation to generate a leak current Ir. Thus, the voltage of the sensing node N1 may rise from the operation voltage V3 according to the voltage dV1 caused by the leak current Ir. The voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may also rise synchronously.

In the sense period SEP from time t6 to time t7, the sense signal SE may be changed to the high voltage level, and the preset signal PS and the reset signal RS may be at the low voltage level. Thus, the fourth transistor T4 is turned-on. The first transistor T1 generates a sink current Ik corresponding to the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1, and the fourth transistor T4 transfers the sink current Ik to the sense data line DL. The capacitor C1 may couple the voltage of the sensing node N1 to the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1. The voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the operation voltage V3 plus the threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1 provided by the capacitor C1 and plus the voltage dV1 coupled by the capacitor C1. The threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1 may be compensated, so that the first transistor T1 generates the sink current Ik corresponding to the voltage of the operation voltage V3 plus the voltage dV1. The fourth transistor T4 transfers the sink current Ik to the sense date line DL. It should be noted that the sink current Ik corresponds to the voltage of the sensing node N1, and the voltage of the sensing node N1 corresponds to the leak current Ir flowing through the electronic component 1520. The first input terminal of the operational amplifier 1541 may receive the sense data signal SD with the sink current Ik from the sense date line DL, and output an output voltage Vout by integrating the sink current Ik. Thus, the output voltage Vout may rise from a low voltage level of an initial voltage Vinit to a high voltage level based on a voltage dV2 caused by the sink current Ik. That is, the read-out circuit 1540 may receive the sense data signal SD from the sense date line DL, so as to read-out the voltage of the sensing node N1 for the back-end processing circuit to obtain the sensing state of the electronic component 1520 by current mode (ie, the sink current Ik is converted to voltage by the charge integrator), and further obtain the sensing result of the electronic component 1520 by analyzing the voltage read-out result by the back-end processing circuit. Therefore, the electronic device 1500 may effectively perform the sensing operation of the electronic component 1520, and effectively read-out the sensing result of the electronic component 1520.

FIG. 18 is a timing diagram of related voltages and signals according to the embodiment of FIG. 17 of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, as shown as FIG. 18, the electronic device 1700 may perform a preset operation, a reset operation, an expose operation and a sense operation during a preset period PP, a reset period RP, an expose period EP and a sense period SEP. In the preset period PP from time t0 to time t1, the preset signal PS may be at a high voltage level, and the reset signal RS and the sense signal SE may be at a low voltage level. Thus, the third transistor T3 is turned-on. The voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be preset to the operation voltage V3. The voltage of the sensing node N1 may be the operation voltage V2 (electronic component 1720 has not yet worked).

In the reset period RP from time t2 to time t3, the reset signal RS may be at the high voltage level, and the preset signal PS and the sense signal SE may be at the low voltage level. Thus, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2 and the reset transistor Tr are turned-on. The voltage of the second terminal (source terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the operation voltage V1. The first transistor T1 may be turned-on by the operation voltage V3 preset in the preset period PP, and the second transistor T2 turned-on by the reset signal RS, so the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the operation voltage V3 minus a threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1. The voltage of the sensing node N1 may be reset to the operation voltage V1 (electronic component 1720 has not yet worked) by the reset transistor Tr.

In the expose period EP from time t4 to time t5, the reset signal RS, the preset signal PS and the sense signal SE may be at the low voltage level, respectively. The electronic component 1720 may perform the exposure operation to generate a leak current Ir. Thus, the voltage of the sensing node N1 may drop from the operation voltage V1 according to the voltage dV1 caused by the leak current Ir. The voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may also drop synchronously.

In the sense period SEP from time t6 to time t7, the sense signal SE may be changed to the high voltage level, and the preset signal PS and the reset signal RS may be at the low voltage level. Thus, the fourth transistor T4 is turned-on. The first transistor T1 generates the source current Is corresponding to the voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1, and the fourth transistor T4 transfers the source current Is to the sense data line DL. The capacitor C1 may couple the voltage of the sensing node N1 to the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1. The voltage T1_Vg of the control terminal (gate terminal) of the first transistor T1 may be the voltage of the operation voltage V1 minus the threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1 provided by the capacitor C1 and minus the voltage dV1 coupled by the capacitor C1. The threshold voltage |Vth1| of the first transistor T1 may be compensated, so that the first transistor T1 generates the source current Is corresponding to the voltage of the operation voltage V1 minus the voltage dV1. The fourth transistor T4 transfers the source current Is to the sense date line DL. It should be noted that the source current Is corresponds to the voltage of the sensing node N1, and the voltage of the sensing node N1 corresponds to the leak current Ir flowing through the electronic component 1720. The first input terminal of the operational amplifier 1741 may receive the sense data signal SD with the source current Is from the sense date line DL, and output an output voltage Vout by integrating the source current Is. Thus, the output voltage Vout may drop from a high voltage level of an initial voltage Vinit to a low voltage level based on a voltage dV2 caused by the source current Is. That is, the read-out circuit 1740 may receive the sense data signal SD from the sense date line DL, so as to read-out the voltage of the sensing node N1 for the back-end processing circuit to obtain the sensing result of the electronic component 1420 by current mode (ie, the source current Is is converted to voltage by the charge integrator), and further obtain the sensing result of the electronic component 1720 by analyzing the voltage read-out result by the back-end processing circuit. Therefore, the electronic device 1700 may effectively perform the sensing operation of the electronic component 1720, and effectively read-out the sensing result of the electronic component 1720.

In summary, the electronic device of the disclosure can effectively drive, test or sense the electronic component by the sensing circuit, and the driving, test or sensing result sensed by the sensing circuit can be effectively read-out by the read-out circuit. Moreover, the electronic device of some embodiments of the disclosure may have the compensation function of the threshold voltage of the transistor to achieve better sense data readout effect.
