A driving circuit for driving a display and capable of preventing charge accumulation is provided. This invention provides two additional thin film transistors to the driving circuit of each pixel of the display. If, during fabrication, positive charges accumulate at the anode of a light-emitting diode so that the anode has a potential larger than the common positive voltage line of the panel, a current will flow from one of the thin film transistors to the common positive voltage line. Conversely, if negative charges accumulate at the anode so that the anode has a potential smaller than the common negative voltage line of the panel, a current will flow from the common negative voltage line to the anode via the other thin film transistor and neutralize the negative charges. If the charges are not neutralized and allowed to accumulate on the anode of the light-emitting device, point defects may be produced.
