  • Patent number: 10650744
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for compensating a pixel driving circuit of an OLED display panel. In the compensation method, a driving transistor is enabled to operate stably in a saturation region for twice, and a threshold voltage of the driving transistor is calculated based on a collected charging voltage and charging time. A pixel driving circuit is compensated by establishing a threshold-voltage compensation table. The compensation method is easy to operate and can significantly improve a detecting speed of a threshold voltage. Moreover, an effect of a voltage-current conversion factor on detecting accuracy of a threshold voltage can be avoided.

  • Patent number: 10573665
    Abstract: With an increase in the definition of a display device, the number of pixels is increased, and thus the numbers of gate lines and signal lines are increased. Due to the increase in the numbers of gate lines and signal lines, it is difficult to mount an IC chip having a driver circuit for driving the gate and signal lines by bonding or the like, which causes an increase in manufacturing costs. A pixel portion and a driver circuit for driving the pixel portion are formed over one substrate. At least a part of the driver circuit is formed using an inverted staggered thin film transistor in which an oxide semiconductor is used. The driver circuit as well as the pixel portion is provided over the same substrate, whereby manufacturing costs are reduced.
