Mirrored OLED pixel circuit for threshold voltage and mobility compensation with IGZO TFTs

In this paper, pixel circuit using mirroring structure with Indium–Gallium–Zinc oxide (IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs) for active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) display is proposed. This pixel circuit consists of only four TFTs, and one capacitor. Due to the mirroring structure, characteristic of the driving TFT can be precisely sensed by the sensing TFT, which is deployed in a discharging path for gate electrode of the driving TFT. This discharging process is strongly dependent on threshold voltage (V_T) and effective mobility of the sensing TFT. Circuit operating details are discussed, and compensation effects for threshold voltage shift and mobility variations are verified through numerical derivation and SPICE simulations. Furthermore, compared with conventional schematics, the proposed pixel circuit might have much simplified external driving circuits, and it is a promising alternative solution of high performance AMOLED display.     

A novel current-scaling a-Si:H TFTs pixel electrode circuit for AM-OLEDs

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistor (a-Si:H TFT) pixel electrode circuit with a function of current scaling is proposed for active-matrix organic light-emitting displays (AM-OLEDs). In contrast to the conventional current mirror pixel electrode circuit, in this circuit a high data-to-organic light-emitting device (OLED) current ratio can be achieved, without increasing the a-Si:H TFT size, by using a cascade structure of storage capacitors. Moreover, the proposed circuit can compensate for the variations of TFT threshold voltage. Simulation results, based on a-Si:H TFT and OLED experimental data, showed that a data-to-OLED current ratio larger than 10 and a fast pixel programming time can be accomplished with the proposed circuit.

A novel a-Si:H AMOLED pixel circuit based on short-term stress stability of a-Si:H TFTs

This letter presents a novel pixel circuit for hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) active matrix organic light-emitting diode displays employing the short-term stress stability characteristics of a-Si:H thin film transistors (TFTs). The pixel circuit uses a programming TFT that is under stress during the programming cycle and unstressed during the drive cycle. The threshold voltage shift (V/sub T/-shift) of the TFT under these conditions is negligible. The programming TFT in turn regulates the current of the drive TFT, and the pixel current therefore becomes independent of the threshold voltage of the drive TFT.     

一种基于低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管的交流AMOLED像素补偿电路

This paper presents a new poly-Si pixel circuit employing AC driving mode for active matrix organic light-emitting diode （AMOLED） displays. The proposed pixel circuit, which consists of one driving thin-film tran- sistor （TFT）, three switching TFTs, and one storage capacitor, can effectively compensate for the threshold voltage variation in poly-Si and the OLED degradation. As there is no light emission, except for during the emitting period, and a small number of devices used in the proposed pixel circuit, a high contrast ratio and a high pixel aperture ratio can be easily achieved. Simulation results by SMART-SPICE software show that the non-uniformity of the OLED current for the proposed pixel circuit is significantly decreased （〈 10%） with an average value of 2.63%, while that of the conventional 2T1C is 103%. Thus the brightness uniformity of AMOLED displays can be improved by using the proposed pixel circuit.
