Patent number: 11488529Abstract: A current-voltage (IV) relationship of a pixel having a diode is initially determined. A first voltage is determined that does not cause the diode to emit light, and a first current across the diode is sensed by applying the first voltage. A predetermined current is determined based on the first voltage and the IV relationship. A ratio is determined based on the first current, a target current, and the predetermined current. A ratio voltage is determined by applying the ratio to a predetermined target voltage. If the first current is less than the predetermined current, then the ratio voltage is applied to supply a target current to the diode. If the first current is greater than the predetermined current, then a second voltage is determined by averaging the first test voltage and the ratio voltage, and the second voltage is applied to supply the target current to the diode.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Injae Hwang, Jesun Kim, Hyunwoo Nho, Jie Won Ryu, Hyunsoo Kim, Junhua Tan, Myungjoon Choi, Rebecca Park, Shiping Shen, Sun-Il Chang, Shengkui Gao, Kingsuk Brahma, Jesse Aaron Richmond, Changki Min, Yifan Zhang, Jiye Lee, Chaohao Wang
