Abstract

Disclosed is a technique to reduce the unwanted emission in active matrix light emitting displays, in particular, active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) displays.
Also, the technique can be adopted in hybrid driving scheme to extract the actual threshold voltage shift/mismatch of the drive transistor.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a light emitting display devices, and particularly, to a driving technique for AMOLEDs, to reduce the unwanted emission and extract the precise aging of the pixel circuits.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
The disclosed technique turns off the light emitting device during the programming/calibration cycle, and so it prevents the unwanted emission and effect of light emitting device on the pixel aging.
ADVANTAGES
The unwanted emission is reduced significantly resulting in a higher resolution. Also, individual extraction of circuit aging and light emitting device aging become possible, leading in a more accurate calibration.

FIG. 2: Pixel configuration during the calibration/programming cycle.
FIG. 3: Simulation results for the voltage on IDATA line.
Z

The disclosed driving technique can be applied to any current mirror pixel circuit fabricated in any technology including poly silicon, amorphous silicon, crystalline silicon, and organic materials.
FIG.1 shows an example of a current mirror AMOLED pixel circuit. The pixel comprises two switches T3 and T2, a drive transistor T4, a programming transistor T1, OLED
10, and a storage capacitor 11.
In the conventional current programming, SEL goes high, and a programming current (IP) is applied to IDATA. Considering that the width of T1 is 'n' times larger than the width of T4, the current flowing through the OLED 10 during the programming cycle is (n+1)IP.
Since'n' should be large to gain significant speed improvement, the unwanted emission becomes considerable.
In the disclosed driving scheme, VDD goes to a reference voltage during the programming cycle.
The reference voltage should be chosen carefully so that the voltage at node B
becomes smaller than the ON voltage of the OLED 10. As a result, the OLED 10 turns off and the unwanted emission is zero. FIG. 2 shows the pixel configuration at this cycle. Here, the voltage of the IDATA line consists of VP+VT+ 4VT where VP includes the drain-source voltage of T4 and the gate-source voltage of T1, VT is the threshold voltage of Tl (T4), and ~VT is the VT
shift/mismatch. At the end of programming cycle, VDD goes to its original value, and so voltage at node B goes to VpLED~ However, the gate voltage of T4/T1 is fixed and stored in the storage capacitor 11 since the switches are OFF. Therefore, the pixel current during the driving cycle becomes independent of the VT.
More importantly, this method can be adopted in hybrid driving scheme to extract the VT-shift or VT-mismatch. It is obvious that the only variant parameter in the voltage of the IDATA line is the VT shift/mismatch. Therefore, OVT can be extracted and the programming data can be calibrated with 4VT.
The simulation result for the voltage on IDATA line for different VT is depicted in FIG. 3. As is can be seen, the voltage of IDATA line includes the shift in the threshold voltage of T1 and T4.
Here, the programming current is 1 ~A.
