  • Patent number: 7151513
    Abstract: A driving method is used for driving the voltage-driven circuit of an organic light emitting diode display device. Within a frame period, data voltage is set to a negative data voltage for a pre-defined interval within a frame period. When the scanning voltage is set to a high voltage level, the negative data voltage is applied to the gate terminal of a driving thin film transistor. The gate remains at the negative gate voltage for a maintenance period and the driving thin film transistor has a constant threshold voltage. Hence, this invention provides a mechanism for maintaining a constant luminance from the organic light emitting diode despite an extended use, thus effectively increasing the working life of the display device.

  • Patent number: 7006062
    Abstract: A driving circuit of a display which has a plurality of pixels. Each pixel has a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor, a fourth transistor, a capacitor and a light-emitting device. Driving the pixels with current is achieved by n-type amorphous silicon thin film, while the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor is not required. Further, by adjusting the ratio of channel width to channel length of the thin-film transistors of the pixels, the different effects caused by characteristics of red, green and blue pixels are compensated without the need of providing different data current by the driving integrated circuit.

  • Publication number: 20060030090
    Abstract: Methods of forming thin film devices with different electrical characteristics on a substrate comprising a driver circuit region and a pixel region. A first and a second polysilicon pattern layers are formed on the driving circuit region and the pixel region of the substrate, respectively. A first ion implantation is performed on the second polysilicon pattern layer using a masking layer covering the first polysilicon pattern layer as an implant mask, such that the first polysilicon pattern layer has an impurity concentration different from the second polysilicon pattern layer. After removal of the masking layer, a gate dielectric layer and a gate are successively formed on each of the first and second polysilicon pattern layers and a source/drain region is subsequently formed in each of the first and second polysilicon pattern layers to define a channel region therein.

  • Publication number: 20060017775
    Abstract: A substrate structure for forming an alignment film thereon is described, which includes a substrate and an adjusting unit formed on a non-display area of the substrate. Further, the adjusting unit is composed of a bump, a groove, or a combination thereof. When an alignment agent is ink-jet printed, the bump is used to prevent the alignment agent from spreading over a sealing area of the substrate, and the groove is engaged in receiving the superfluous alignment agent. Therefore, the size of the alignment film is confined and the uniformity of the alignment film is greatly improved.

  • Publication number: 20050248699
    Abstract: A color filter of liquid crystal display (LCD) panel is described. A surface property of a black matrix is changed by coating with an ink-repellent layer formed of cheap materials, to provide better separation between portions of a colored layer, thus reducing the cost of the ink-repellent layer and avoid overflowing while color ink drops are attaching onto a transparent substrate. In addition, a method of fabricating a color filter of LCD panel is described. The ink-repellent layer is transferred onto the black matrix, and then the colored layer is formed thereon. The ink-repellent layer effectively separates the colored layer. This method of the invention greatly diminishes the usage of the ink-repellent layer, steps of exposure and development, and the cost and time of fabricating the color filter.

  • Patent number: 6778151
    Abstract: A driving circuit for driving a display and capable of preventing charge accumulation is provided. This invention provides two additional thin film transistors to the driving circuit of each pixel of the display. If, during fabrication, positive charges accumulate at the anode of a light-emitting diode so that the anode has a potential larger than the common positive voltage line of the panel, a current will flow from one of the thin film transistors to the common positive voltage line. Conversely, if negative charges accumulate at the anode so that the anode has a potential smaller than the common negative voltage line of the panel, a current will flow from the common negative voltage line to the anode via the other thin film transistor and neutralize the negative charges. If the charges are not neutralized and allowed to accumulate on the anode of the light-emitting device, point defects may be produced.
