Voltage-programming method with transimpedance-feedback technique for threshold voltage and mobility compensations in large-area high-resolution AMOLED displays

Abstract— A voltage‐programming method with transimpedance‐feedback control technique is proposed for compensating threshold voltage and mobility variations of driving thin‐film transistors (TFTs) in large‐area high‐resolution polycrystalline‐silicon (poly‐Si) active‐matrix organic light‐emitting‐diode (AMOLED) displays. Those electrical characteristic variations of TFTs throughout a large‐area high‐resolution panel result in picture‐quality non‐uniformity of AMOLED displays. The simulation and experimental results of the proposed method show that the maximum emission‐current error for 30‐in. full‐high‐definition television (HDTV) applications is less than 1.9% when the mobility variation and the threshold‐voltage variation are ±12.5% and ±0.3 V, respectively. The proposed method is the best programming method for large‐area high‐resolution AMOLEDs among the published methods.
