  • Patent number: 8773332
    Abstract: A method for driving pixels of an active matrix organic light-emitting diode display is disclosed. The method includes charging a first terminal and a second terminal of a first capacitor with a reference voltage and a reset voltage respectively, and turning on a third switch simultaneously, floating the second terminal of the first capacitor, charging the first terminal of the first capacitor according to a data voltage, floating the first terminal of the first capacitor and turning on the third switch. Thus, determine a driving current independent of process variances of the N-type thin film transistor and a voltage drop of an OLED according to a difference voltage across the first capacitor.

  • Patent number: 8692743
    Abstract: A pixel driving circuit of an organic light emitting diode (OLED) includes a first switch, a first capacitor, a transistor, a second switch, a second capacitor, and an OLED. The operation of the pixel driving circuit includes four stages of reset, threshold voltage compensation, data writing, and emitting. The pixel driving circuit compensates the threshold voltage of the transistor, so the driving current of the OLED is only related to the data voltage and the reference voltage.
