Abstract

A simple pixel structure using a video data correction method is proposed to compensate for electrical characteristic variations of driving thin-film transistors (TFTs) and the degradation of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) in active-matrix OLED (AMOLED) displays. The proposed method senses the electrical characteristic variations of TFTs and OLEDs and stores them in external memory. The nonuniform emission current of TFTs and the aging of OLEDs are corrected by modulating video data using the stored data. Experimental results show that the emission current error due to electrical characteristic variation of driving TFTs is in the range from -63.1 to 61.4% without compensation, but is decreased to the range from -1.9 to 1.9% with the proposed correction method. The luminance error due to the degradation of an OLED is less than 1.8% when the proposed correction method is used for a 50% degraded OLED.
