  • Publication number: 20150130779
    Abstract: A pixel structure and a driving method thereof are disclosed. The driving method includes following steps. During a first displaying frame period, a threshold voltage of a transistor for driving a light-emitting diode is stored in a first capacitor, and a first data voltage is stored in a second capacitor. The threshold voltage stored in the first capacitor is utilized for compensation during the first displaying frame period. During a second displaying frame period, a second data voltage is stored in the second capacitor, and the threshold voltage stored in the first capacitor during the first frame displaying period is still utilized for compensation during the second displaying frame period.

  • Publication number: 20140368487
    Abstract: A pixel driver includes an input unit, a power-switching unit, a voltage-dividing unit, a pixel-driving unit and a shorting unit. The input unit outputs a data voltage according to a first scan signal and a data signal. The power-switching unit outputs a first power voltage according to a first power voltage and a power-controlling signal. The voltage-dividing unit adjusts a control voltage according to a second scan signal. The pixel-driving unit includes a control terminal, a first terminal and a second terminal. The pixel-driving unit provides a driving current to an LED according to the voltage difference between the control terminal and the second terminal. The shorting unit connects the control terminal to the first terminal according to the first scan signal.

  • Patent number: 8878755
    Abstract: In one aspect of the invention, a method of driving an OLED display includes providing scan signals and data signals and applying the scan signals to scan lines and the data signals to the data lines, respectively. Each scan signal is characterized with a waveform having a compensation duration and a scan duration immediately following the compensation duration. The waveform has a first voltage and a second voltage periodically and alternately varied from one another defining a period in the compensation duration, and has the first voltage in the scan duration. The period is equal to the scan duration but shorter than the compensation duration. As such, during the compensation duration of a scan signal, pixels of a corresponding pixel row are charged for compensation, and during the scan duration, the data signals are written into the pixels of the corresponding pixel row for driving the OLEDs thereof.
