A voltage driving AMOLED(Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) is useful for large-sized, high resolution OLED display. The conventional 2-TFTs, 1-CAP AMOLED circuit suffer from the threshold voltage variation of TFT. In this paper, a new AMOLED structure is proposed. It is composed of 5-TFTs and 2-capacitors. It is described that the operating principle and the characteristics of the proposed structure and is verified the performance by HSPICE simulation. The result of simulation shows that the effect of the threshold voltage variation in this circuit, is able to neglect.

This paper describes a novel current driving circuit for an active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED). The proposed current driving circuit has a lower power consumption and higher chip density for the AMOLED display compared with the conventional one because all elements operate at a normal voltage and are shielded from the high voltage of the panel. The chip size and power consumption of the current driving circuit for an AMOLED can be improved by about 30 to 40% and 10 to 20%, respectively, compared with the conventional one.

We have proposed a new driving method which improve the current stability of a-Si:H TFTs for AMOLED. It performs the negative bias annealing on driving TFTs during a certain period of a frame time. In the proposed method, the range of data signals is significantly reduced by modulating VSS.

본 연구를 통해서 대 면적, 저 전력 AMOLED 용용에 적합한 고 개구율 픽셀 보상회로와 이에 대한 구동회로를 제안하였다. 균일도는 다소 떨어지지만 안정성과 이동도가 뛰어난 저온 다결정 실리콘(LTPS) 박막 트랜지스터(TFT)를 기반으로 설계했다. 픽셀의 불량률을 낮추고 배면발광방식에 적합하도록 픽셀 보상회로를 보다 간단하게 개선하여 고 개구율 특성을 갖도록 했다. 제안하는 고 개구율 픽셀 보상회로는 일반적인 구동방식을 사용할 경우 명암비에서 큰 손해를 볼 수가 있으므로, 명암비를 높게 유지하기 위한 구동방식 및 구동회로를 제안하여 검증하였다. 이와 더불어 동영상 특성을 개선하기 위해 black data insertion 방식을 구현할 수 있도록 설계했다. 배면발광방식의 19.6" WXGA AMOLED 패널에 대해 설계했으며, 픽셀의 평균 개구율은 41.9%로 기존에 비해 8.9% 증가했다. TFT의 $V_{TH}$ 편차가 ${\pm}0.2\;V$일 때, 패널의 불균일도와 명암비는 각각 6% 이하와 10만:1 이상으로 예측되었다.

In this paper, the designed 10-bit current steering data driving circuit consists of bias circuits, shift registers, data and line latches, level shifters, and 10-bit D/A converters. This data driving circuit can improve image quality, driving speed, and can reduce process error, DNL error, and glitch noise. To reduce current cells, the 10-bit D/A converter was designed 3+3+4 hybrid type. As a result 49 current cells are decreased. The transient analysis shows that currents flows a few of mA in data line and the currents have 1024 gray levels of current values. Total circuits are designed for 10 ${\mu}s$ speed. Thus the designed 10-bit current steering data driving circuit can be usable in HDTV/XGA AMOLED displays. These data driving circuits are designed for 0.35 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process at 3.3 V and 18 V supply voltage and simulated with HSPICE..

This paper designed a voltage feedback driving circuit to compensate for the characteristic deviation of the Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode driving Thin Film Transistor. This paper describes a stable and fast circuit by applying charge sharing and polar stabilization methods. A 12-inch Organic Light Emitting Diode with a Double Wide Ultra eXtended Graphics Array resolution creates a screen distortion problem for line parasitism, and charge sharing and polar stabilization structures were applied to solve the problem. By applying Charge Sharing, all data lines are shorted at the same time and quickly positioned as the average voltage to advance the compensated change time of the gate voltage in the next operation period. A buffer circuit and a current pass circuit were added to lower the Amplifier resistance connected to the line as a polar stabilization method. The advantage of suppressing the Ringing of the driving Thin Film Transistor can be obtained by increasing the stability. As a result, a circuit was designed to supply a stable current to the Organic Light Emitting Diode even if the characteristic deviation of the driving Thin Film Transistor occurs.

This paper demonstrates a new driving scheme that allows reducing the supply voltage of data drivers for low-power active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays. The proposed technique drives down the data voltage range by 50%, which subsequently diminishes in the peak power consumption of data drivers at the full white pattern by 75%. Because the gate voltage of a driving thin film transistor covers the same range as a conventional driving scheme by means of a level-shifting scheme, the low-data supply scheme achieves the equivalent dynamic range of OLED currents. The average power consumption of data drivers is reduced by 60% over 24 test images, and power consumption is kept below 25%.

The circuit simulation has been done on the current-programmed AMOLED and shows that the circuit which behaves as a negative capacitance can reduce the effect of parasitic capacitance fixed on the data-line and can accelerate the current programming speed as high as that required in Full HD AMOLED.

본 논문에서는 진폭 변조와 펄스 폭 변조를 모두 사용하는 새로운 AMOLED 디스플레이 구동 방식을 개발하였다. 펄스 폭 변조를 위해서 다섯 개의 서브 프레임으로 화상 프레임을 나누었고 진폭 변조를 위해 TFT 게이트 전압에 의해 제어되는 3가지의 OLED 휘도(전류) 레벨을 사용하였다. 이 두 종류의 변조를 조합하여 35(=243) 계조를 얻었다. 그리고 DAC를 사용하지 않고 2개의 쉬프트 레지스터를 갖는 새로운 데이터 전극 구동 회로를 설계하였다. 회로 동작은 6㎛ 채널 길이 다결정 TFT의 전류-전압 특성에서 추출된 TFT 파라미터를 이용한 HSpice 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과로부터 320×240, 이중 스캔, 243 계조 AMOLED 디스플레이를 구현할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
