P‐11: A Novel AMOLED Pixel Circuit using Double‐Gate LTPO TFTs for Variable Refresh Rate with Low Power Consumption

This paper proposes an Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED) pixel circuit for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) driving from 1Hz to 240Hz. The circuit is based on a double‐gate Low Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon and Oxide (LTPO) Thin Film Transistor (TFT) backplane. For low frame rate driving we used oxide TFTs as the Switching (SW) TFTs. Moreover, we applied double‐gate Low Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon (LTPS) process to the Driving (DR) TFT for compensation of the Threshold Voltage (Vth) by controlling the bottom gate bias at a high refresh rate. In this paper, operation principle and simulation results will be illustrated to demonstrate the performance of the proposed circuit.
