Abstract

A novel voltage-programmed pixel circuit using hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film transistors (TFTs) for active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays is proposed. The threshold voltage shift (ΔV <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">T</sub> ) of the drive TFT due to electrical stress is compensated by the change of gate-to-source voltage (ΔV <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">GS</sub> ) generated by the ΔV <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">T</sub> -dependent charge transfer from the drive TFT to a TFT-based Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor (MIS) capacitor. Another MIS capacitor is used to improve OLED drive currents. Measurement results verify the effectiveness and speed of the proposed pixel circuit.
