A Novel Poly-Si TFT Pixel Circuit for AMOLED to Compensate TFT Threshold Voltage Variation
A new pixel circuit for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diodes (AMOLEDs), based on the polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors (Poly-Si TFTs), was proposed and verified by SMART SPICE simulation. One driving and four switching TFTs and one storage capacitor was used to improve display image uniformity without any additional control signal line. The proposed pixel circuit compensates an inevitable threshold voltage variation of Poly-Si TFTs and compensates for degradation of the OLED.
