  • Publication number: 20220223094
    Abstract: A method and system for programming, calibrating and driving a light emitting device display, and for operating a display at a constant luminance even as some of the pixels in the display are degraded over time. The system may include extracting a time dependent parameter of a pixel for calibration. Each pixel in the display is configured to emit light when a voltage is supplied to the pixel's driving circuit, which causes a current to flow through a light emitting element. Degraded pixels are compensated by supplying their respective driving circuits with greater voltages. The display data is scaled by a compression factor less than one to reserve some voltage levels for compensating degraded pixels. As pixels become more degraded, and require additional compensation, the compression factor is decreased to reserve additional voltage levels for use in compensation.

  • Patent number: 10235933
    Abstract: A display degradation compensation system and method for adjusting the operating conditions for pixels in an OLED display to compensate for non-uniformity or aging of the display. The system or method sets an initial value for at least one of peak luminance and an operating condition, calculates compensation values for the pixels in the display, determines the number of pixels having compensation values larger than a predetermined threshold compensation value, and if the determined number of pixels having compensation values larger than said predetermined threshold value is greater than a predetermined threshold number, adjusts the set value until said determined number of pixels is less than said predetermined threshold number.
