Abstract: LED pixel structures and methods that improve brightness uniformity by reducing current nonuniformities in a light-emitting diode of the pixel structures are disclosed.

Abstract: A three electrode plasma display panel (PDP) operates in concurrent sustain and addressing periods, rather than separating the sustain and addressing periods. Because of this concurrent operation, a PDP with a brighter display is produced. Crosstalk between sustain electrodes and the column electrodes of non-selected rows is mitigated by implementing column voltages such that there is no difference in crosstalk brightness levels in non-addressed pixels in the on state compared to non-addressed pixels in the off state. This is accomplished by choosing column voltages that are approximately symmetric about one-half of the sustain voltage.

Abstract: A circuit design technique polysilicon thin-film transistor (TFT) circuitry produces circuits that are relatively less sensitive to threshold variations among the TFT's than circuits designed using conventional techniques. The circuit is designed such that thin-film transistors that are sensitive to threshold variations are made larger than other thin-film transistors in the circuitry to minimize threshold variations among similar transistors implemented in the circuit. In one embodiment, a pixel structure for an active matrix display device implemented in polysilicon includes two transistors, a select transistor and a drive transistor. The drive transistor in the pixel structure is a thin film metal oxide silicon (MOS) transistor that includes a gate to source capacitance sufficient to hold an electrical potential which keeps the transistor in a conducting state for an image field interval. One embodiment of the pixel structure includes only the select transistor and the drive transistor.

Abstract: A LED pixel structure that reduces current nonuniformities and threshold voltage variations in a “drive transistor”of the pixel structure is disclosed. The LED pixel structure incorporates a current source for loading data into the pixel via a data line. Alternatively, an auto zero voltage is determined for the drive transistor prior to the loading of data.

Abstract: A plasma display device having three-electrode pixels. Each pixel may be set either in a write state or in a sustain state by a pair of select electrodes. In the write state the pixel may be set either ON or OFF. A pixel is put in a write state when the AC signals applied to the select electrodes are in phase. Once the signals applied to the select electrodes are in phase, the pixel may be set ON or OFF depending on the phase of the signal applied to a data electrode. In the sustain state the pixel remains either ON or OFF regardless of the signal applied to the data electrode. A pixel is put in a sustain state when out-of-phase signals are applied to the pair of select electrodes. The pixels in the display are arranged in rows and columns. Each pixel column has a single data electrode, and each pixel row has a pair of select electrodes associated with it. Pixels in unselected rows may be illuminated concurrently with the writing into pixels in selected rows.
