Abstract

In this study, we have investigated the operation robustness of a p-type low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) thin-film transistor (TFT)-based micro light-emitting diode (µLED) pixel circuit adopting pulse width modulation (PWM) under circuit component fluctuations. The wavelength shift of µLEDs, depending on the current density, was suppressed by implementing PWM. The PWM pixel circuit controlled the emission time with constant µLED current in the simulated and measured results. In addition, the wavelength shift was suppressed below 0.48% within the 10-bit grayscale range. Furthermore, the component tolerance of the pixel circuit was investigated by simulating the error rate of µLED emission time with varying threshold voltage, mobility, subthreshold swing, and capacitance. The pixel circuit exhibited a robust operation with a maximum error rate of 4.0% under a component fluctuation of ±10%. Consequently, the µLED pixel circuit adopting PWM suppressed the wavelength shift of µLEDs and demonstrated robust circuit operation under component fluctuation.
