  • Patent number: 11189225
    Abstract: A pixel circuit that drives a light-emitting device employs a diode-connection compensation scheme that compensates for threshold variations of the diode connecting switch that diode connects the drive transistor during a threshold compensation phase. The pixel circuit operates to reduce the impact of threshold voltage variations of the diode connecting switch to improve brightness uniformity and picture quality. The pixel circuit includes two compensation capacitors in addition to the storage capacitor for data programming to control the flow and magnitude of a rebalancing current through the diode connecting switch in such a way to cancel excess or deficit of charge caused by threshold voltage variations of the diode connecting switch due to capacitive coupling between the gate node of the switch and the storage capacitor. Therefore, the circuit configuration employs a triple-capacitor structure to significantly improve compensation performance and reliability.

  • Patent number: 11170719
    Abstract: An enhanced pixel circuit for a display device provides separate compensation and data programming phases to permit minimization of the programming time. Variations in voltage supplies are accounted for by isolating the drive transistor from such power supply by using a second drive transistor configured as source follower relative to the first drive transistor. An on bias stress transistor is incorporated that can electrically connect the first drive transistor to the power supply during an on bias stress operation. During such operation, a voltage stress is applied to eliminate hysteresis effects associated with the drive transistor. The on bias stress operation may be performed as part of a refresh operation during which a data voltage is programmed to the pixel circuit, or as part of a low frequency operation during which a previously programming data voltage is maintained which reduces power consumption.

  • Patent number: 11114030
    Abstract: A pixel circuit for a display device provides enhanced performance by performing a partial threshold compensation during programming and performing further compensation independent of programming to achieve a short programming time while ensuring threshold compensation accuracy. The pixel circuit is operated in a relatively shortened duration first combined data programming and threshold compensation phase, and in a relatively prolonged duration second threshold compensation phase for improved compensation accuracy. During the combined programming and threshold compensation phase, a drive transistor is diode connected, and a data voltage is applied to a programming a capacitor that also stores a portion of a threshold voltage of the drive transistor. This permits a short programming time.
