Amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin-film transistor (TFT) backplanes are very promising for active-matrix organic light-emitting diode displays (AMOLEDs) on plastic. The technology benefits from a large manufacturing base, simple fabrication process, and low production cost. The concern lies in the instability of the TFTs threshold voltage (VT) and its low device mobility. Although VT-instability can be compensated by means of advanced multi-transistor pixel circuits, the lifetime of the display is still dependent on the TFT process quality and bias conditions. A-Si TFTs with field-effect mobility of 1.1 cm2/Vmiddots and pixel driver circuits have been fabricated on plastic substrates at 150 degC. The circuits are characterized in terms of current drive capability and long-term stability of operation. The results demonstrate sufficient and stable current delivery and the ability of the backplane on plastic to meet AMOLED requirements 相似文献

Device and circuit level optimization for high performance a-Si:H TFT-based AMOLED displays 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays with amorphous hydrogenated silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film transistor (TFT) backplanes are becoming the state of art in display technology. Though a-Si:H TFTs suffer from an intrinsic device instability, which inturn leads to an instability in pixel brightness, there have been many pixel driving methods that have been introduced to counter this. However, there are issues with these circuits which limit their applicability in terms of speed and resolution. This paper highlights these issues and provides detailed design considerations for the choice of pixel driver circuits in general. In particular, we discuss the circuit and device level optimization of the pixel driver circuit in a-Si:H TFT AMOLED, displays for high gray scale accuracy, subject to constraints of power consumption, and temporal and spatial resolution. 相似文献

This letter presents a new pixel design and driving method for active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays using low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors (TFTs). The proposed pixel circuit consists of five TFTs and one capacitor to eliminate the variation in the threshold voltage of the TFTs, and the drop in the supply voltage in a single frame operation by the source-follower-type connection and the bootstrap. The proposed pixel circuit has been verified to realize uniform output current by the simulation work using the HSPICE software. The novel pixel design has great potential for use in large-size and high-resolution AMOLED displays. 相似文献

An active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display based on the polycrystalline silicon backplane technology has been fabricated that employs a new pixel circuit to compensate for the variation in the threshold voltage of the thin film transistors (TFT). The new pixel circuit also copes with the voltage drop in the supply line and a very high contrast ratio can be achieved. The uniformity of the new AMOLED display is remarkably improved compared with the basic two-TFT pixel structure, and it can be readily applied in the mass production of commercial AMOLED displays. 相似文献

This paper presents a new poly-Si pixel circuit employing AC driving mode for active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays. The proposed pixel circuit, which consists of one driving thin-film tran- sistor (TFT), three switching TFTs, and one storage capacitor, can effectively compensate for the threshold voltage variation in poly-Si and the OLED degradation. As there is no light emission, except for during the emitting period, and a small number of devices used in the proposed pixel circuit, a high contrast ratio and a high pixel aperture ratio can be easily achieved. Simulation results by SMART-SPICE software show that the non-uniformity of the OLED current for the proposed pixel circuit is significantly decreased (〈 10%) with an average value of 2.63%, while that of the conventional 2T1C is 103%. Thus the brightness uniformity of AMOLED displays can be improved by using the proposed pixel circuit. 相似文献

This paper presents design considerations along with measurement results pertinent to hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film transistor (TFT) drive circuits for active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) displays. We describe both pixel architectures and TFT circuit topologies that are amenable for vertically integrated, high aperture ratio pixels. Here, the OLED layer is integrated directly above the TFT circuit layer, to provide an active pixel area that is at least 90% of the total pixel area with an aperture ratio that remains virtually independent of scaling. Both voltage-programmed and current-programmed drive circuits are considered. The latter provides compensation for shifts in device characteristics due to metastable shifts in the threshold voltage of the TFT. Various drive circuits on glass and plastic were fabricated and tested. Integration of on-panel gate drivers is also discussed where we present the architecture of an a-Si:H based gate de-multiplexer that is threshold voltage shift invariant. In addition, a programmable current mirror with good linearity and stability is presented. Programmable current sources are an essential requirement in the design of source driver output stages. 相似文献

While fabrication of active matrix organic LED (AMOLED) displays on plastic substrates continues to face technological challenges, stable electrical operation of thin-film transistor (TFT) pixel circuits under mechanical stress induced by substrate bending remains a critical issue. This paper investigates strain-induced shifts in hydrogenated amorphous silicon TFT characteristics and the compound impact on TFT circuit behavior. Measurements show that the magnitude of the shifts is determined by the direction of current flow in the TFT with respect to the bending stress orientation as well as bias conditions. Physically based compact models are developed that relate device characteristics to material behavior for design and optimization of AMOLED pixel circuits that can maintain immunity to bending stress. In particular, current mirror-based pixel circuits are presented that compensate for the long term threshold voltage shift and instantaneous strain-induced shifts in device characteristics. 相似文献

We propose a new hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistor (a-Si:H TFT) pixel circuit for an active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) employing a voltage programming. The proposed a-Si:H TFT pixel circuit, which consists of five switching TFTs, one driving TFT, and one capacitor, successfully minimizes a decrease of OLED current caused by threshold voltage degradation of a-Si:H TFT and OLED. Our experimental results, based on the bias-temperature stress, exhibit that the output current for OLED is decreased by 7% in the proposed pixel, while it is decreased by 28% in the conventional 2-TFT pixel. 相似文献

The AC driving scheme for OLEDs,which uses the pixel circuit with two transistors and one capacitor(2T1C),can extend the lifetime of the active matrix organic light-emitting diode(AMOLED) on silicon,but there are switching effects during the switch of AC signals,which result in the voltage variation on the storage capacitor and cause the current glitch in OLED.That would decrease the gray scale of the OLED.This paper proposes a novel pixel circuit consisting of three transistors and one capacitor to realize... 相似文献

Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays offer distinct advantages over liquid crystal displays for portable electronics applications, including light weight, high brightness, low power consumption, wide viewing angle, and low processing costs. They also are attractive candidates for highly flexible substrates. In active-matrix OLED (AMOLED) displays, a small transistor circuit is used to drive each OLED device. This paper compares the simulated performance of two state-of-the-art AMOLED drivers with a proposed 5 thin-film-transistor (TFT) voltage programmed driver circuit which combines the advantages of the first two configurations. A competitive evaluation is also done between amorphous silicon (alpha-Si) and organic TFTs (OTFTs,) using comparable empirical device models for alpha-Si) and pentacene OTFTs. The 5-TFT circuit is found to match the speed of the 2-TFT while achieving a stability closer to the 4-TFT circuits and demonstrating a better speed-stability tradeoff. 相似文献

This letter presents a stable compensation scheme for active-matrix organic light-emitting-diode (AMOLED) displays based on the observed strong interdependence between the luminance degradation of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and its current drop under bias stress. This feedback-based compensation provides 30% improvement in luminance stability under 1600 h of accelerative stress. To employ this scheme in AMOLED displays, a new pixel circuit is presented that provides on-pixel electrical access to the OLED current without compromising the aperture ratio. 相似文献

This letter presents a novel pixel circuit for hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) active matrix organic light-emitting diode displays employing the short-term stress stability characteristics of a-Si:H thin film transistors (TFTs). The pixel circuit uses a programming TFT that is under stress during the programming cycle and unstressed during the drive cycle. The threshold voltage shift (V/sub T/-shift) of the TFT under these conditions is negligible. The programming TFT in turn regulates the current of the drive TFT, and the pixel current therefore becomes independent of the threshold voltage of the drive TFT. 相似文献

We fabricated and evaluated the simple active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) pixel circuits without power line
and proved that it is useful for the AMOLED display. Without power line in the pixel circuit we got higher-aperture ratio
of emission area than the pixel with power line and the pixel with high aperture ratio can give a long life time due to lower
current density of organic light emitting diode. However, the lack of power line requires the verification of the driving
scheme of the pixel circuit. After fabrication of two types of AMOLED with and without power line in the pixel, we evaluated
the pixel currents under various conditions. The operation of the pixel circuit without power line gave similar characteristics
to that of the pixel circuit with power line. By the comparison, we verified that the pixel without power line is acceptable
for the application to the AMOLED display combined with feedback compensation scheme for the uniform brightness. 相似文献

Electronics reliability testing is traditionally carried out by accelerating the failure mechanisms using high temperature and high stress, and then predicting the real-life performance with the Arrhenius model. Such methods have also been applied to organic light-emitting diode (OLED) testing to predict lifetimes of tens of thousands of hours. However, testing the active matrix OLED thin-film transistor (TFT) backplane is a unique and complex case where standard accelerated testing cannot be directly applied. This is because the failure mechanism of pixel circuits is governed by multiple material and device effects, which are compounded by the self-compensating nature of the circuits. In this paper, we define and characterize the factors affecting the primary failure mechanism and develop a general method for accelerated stress testing of TFT pixel circuits in a-Si AMOLED displays. The acceleration factors derived are based on high electrical and temperature stress, and can be used to significantly reduce the testing time required to guarantee a 30 000-h display backplane lifespan. 相似文献
